There are some new studies out that have some interesting data. To condense it, men who during their lives who have naturally produced normal to high levels of testosterone are less likely to develop prostrate cancer. There are a few of these studies, which seem to point to health gonads will help prostrate keep the prostrate healthy. It was not clear if men who have to go on TRT get the same benefit of higher T levels with supplements as compared to the body's natural testosterone production.
I have been on TRT for about fifteen years and had a PSA concern early last year. One thing I learned. Prior to a PSA blood draw. No sex and stay off bumpy lawn tractors for a couple of hours the day prior to the draw. Also remind the PA to do the blood draw prior to a DRE.
After a second opinion from a NP and some antibiotics and reducing DHEA supplement and reduced my TRT replacement and the next clean test, no sex not riding mower levels were back down to 2.6 and my Doctor at that point is less concerned. When reading about PSA and other aspects of the concern is where I ran into the studies mentioned above.
