Could Use Of Clomid Increase PSA ?
My boyfriend who is 69 was given Clomid to increase his testosterone level to a more normal range. Now his latest PSA test is elevated from a prior test that occurred before the Clomid. He just went off the Clomid yesterday due to hot flashes. Could the use of Clomid increase his PSA and will it go down when he goes off of it?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Clomid is not responsible for high PSA level.
PSA is prostate specific antigen and its level increase in carcinoma of prostate and some other condition like prostatitis. He should go for prostate biopsy and then take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/Drsanghvihardik, I will be happy to answer you.
