My dad had a high PSA reading and I think the docs put him on an antibiotic for UTI infection and the PSA went down. Now he gets rechecked every 6 months or so.

It's not a very precise test. Get at least a digital exam regularily, a periodic ultrasound and an ocassional biopsy. Keep your eye on this. I had my prostate out in 1993.

Question: has anyone heard of a very high psa reading (prostate cancer test) either from Parkinson's or from medication? My readings 23, 19.6, 32, all extremely high. Repeated biopsies are negative. Thanks for your help. Stan
