I went in for my bi-annual blood work last week and just got a call from my doctor. I had some results that concern him and to be honest some of them concern me as well.
My script is for 200 mg's a week and I am allowed to self inject, I get a new vile every month from the pharmacy so I have been injecting 250 mg's a week for the past 6 months. My total T was right at a 1000 and my doctor was fine with that but he was concerned because my free T was at 23.3, the top of the range is 23 so it isn't all that high. 6 months ago my free T was at 20 so I am nor really all that concerned with that. I had noticed that past blood tested did not include my E2 so I told my doctor that I wanted that tested as well because I felt it was too high. The results came back and my E2 is at 79.5 so I was correct. What has the doctor the most concerned and me as well is that my PSA reading is 4.0 (0.0-4.0 ng/mL) and 6 months ago it was at .6. The doctor wants me to reduce my injection from 200 mg's a week to 150 mg's a week for a month and come back in for another blood panel.
Here is where I screwed up and I have since gotten it resolved last week. I switched over to using my insurance's mail order for my prescriptions and they messed up and only sent me half my prescription for my AI for the past six months and I have been using an over the counter AI. I am pretty sure that is why my E2 is so elevated. My question is this, is my high E2 causing my PSA to be elevated? I am really concerned about this since it has gone up so much in only a 6 month period of time.
Thanks for your help!
