I am on TRT due to primary testicular failure - as a result my PSA levels are monitored by my endo. (45 yrs)
Started on Nebido injections last July. (every 12 weeks)
In december 2013 PSA=1.09
In february 2014 PSA = 0.89
In July 2014 PSA = 8.68
Sept 2014 PSA=3.59
I didnt realise cycling could affect the result (doofus) and had been cycling the day before the high July reading.
However I had not done any cycling (or any strenuous exercise) for 5 days before the latest sept test.
Can the residual effects of cycling cause high readings 5 days after, also the stuff I've read suggests that even cycling the day before should not have resulted in such a high reading (ie. it must have already been above the limits for it too get that high)
My GP and endo didn't seem too concerned and said as it was coming down it was ok to monitor via blood test in a few months,, but I was, so they are going to refer me to a urologist, just wondered what a cyclist/urologists take on it may be.
