Question 1

can tonkat ali raise psa levels?

Accepted Answer

: Because this supplement has been used for impaired libido and sex life and it is expected to boost testosterone level so its effect on the prostate is a possibility although we do not have any concrete data. To rule out this adverse effect, you should stop this supplement for at least a month before having a PSA retested. Good luck to you.

Should be Normal: If the man in question has not had prostate cancer previously, a psa in this range is normal.
However, it is equally important that he undergo a rectal examination of the prostate yearly.  A normal psa is not a guarantee of prostate cancer free status.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Between 0-4: A normal psa level is between 0 and 4. Howevere, there is an age-adjusted psa level that is different depending on your age. The older a patient is, the higher the psa can become without being too alarming.

Question 8

should i be concerned about high psa levels?

Accepted Answer

Yes, get checked.: If this is your first result showing high blood psa, you should see your doctor to get worked up to be sure it isn't prostate cancer.  Other things, like prostate hypertrophy, can give high psa, but there are different results on dre (digital rectal exam) than cancer.  The prostate would be firm, smooth, and rubbery, not rough and irregular.  But you don't know unless you get checked, so see dr.

Question 9

what level of psa should i be concerned about?

Accepted Answer

PSA: Most men have PSA levels under 4 (ng/mL) and this has traditionally been used as the cutoff for concern about the risk of prostate cancer. Men with prostate cancer often have PSA levels higher than four, although cancer is a possibility at any PSA level.  What is important is any trend from baseline.  If there is a continuous rise over time even if under 4ng/mL it should be evalutaed by Urology dr

Question 10

Accepted Answer

prostate: Psa is a marker found in your blood.  Psa is produced by the cells of your prostate and can be used as a marker for prostate cancer.  Your level is low which is fine.  An increasing psa would be worrisome and could be associated with prostate cancer.
