What do you take to lower your PSA ? After my UTI, my PSA level was at 12 in November, December 8,1; January 8; February 7,9.

My GP told me that my PSA was high due to the UTI. I am on active surveillance for my BPH and I have to have a blood test for my PSA every four months and a biopsy every 3 years. I have seen today the Specialist Nurse in the hospital  and has booked me for blood test (PSA) in September. I don't know if my PSA is high or not, I would to know what I can take to lower my PSA.

    Was your UTI an infection in the prostate? Because if so, it might continue to remain elevated even after infection is treated. On account of inflammation of prostate, known as "prostatitis" This is a bit complex because there are 4 type of "postatitis". It's not clear exactly how--and by how much-- each can raise the PSA.

    But for inflammatory prostatitis there probably are things you can ingest to lower the inflammation and thereby lower the PSA
