Recently finished treatment,had first PSA test Apr 22, 2024

0.101ng/mL

Second PSA test Aug 20, 2024

0.493ng/mL

Is there anything here to be concerned with?

Should I be having PSA taken more frequently?

Still having hot flashes how long can I expect them to last?

Thanks for all the information.

Do you have Testosterone counts alongside the two PSA samples?

Yes. If PSA rises while T is stable (low or high doesn't matter), it is concerning. If PSA and T rise together, it is inconclusive.

When did ADT end? PSA should go up as your testosterone normalizes.
