Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I just had my blood work done during my physical exam. My PSA level went from a 0.7 in 2015 to 3.6 now. I am 43 years old. The doctor had me come in for another blood test and I m awaiting the results. Just wondering what maybe causing the rise. I m otherwise healthy and workout 4-5 days a week. Can pre-workout supplements cause rise in PSA?
Good day and thank you for being with healthcare magic! Elevated PSA can be caused by prostate cancer, Infection of the prostate, a rectal examination, and ejaculation. Testosterone supplements may also increase serious PSA. I hope I have answered your question satisfactorily and please consider a 5 Star rating for my answer. Thank you very much.
