A member asked:
After a prostate biopsy that showes no cancer. can i recieve testosterone injections. that my psa is 300?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hold off: Psas can be elevated for many reasons, including uti, prostatitis, and prostate cancer. A psa of 300 is very high and very unusual. It would be wise to have a repeat psa and if it is still elevated consider a repeat 12 - 16 core biopsy. If prostate cancer is present, testosterone therapy will worsen it.

Hi doctors. I went to the urologist and he found a "bump" on my prostate. I am scheduled for biopsy. My PSA is 1.32 on March 13th of this year...does this PSA score work in favor or against a cancer diagnosis? I have BPH and frequent urination night?
