That's what happened to me and 4 of my friends. My doc actually doubled my testosterone because I was still low, and within a year I had cancer.
Granted, not always, but a HIGH RISK. Decide of a quick roll in the sack and a littl more stamina in athletics is worth it. Not for me.

I like to say that I (my insurance) am buying my primary care doctor a very nice car. At least twice a year he does a PSA test for me without me asking him to. I ask about it & he says I'm miles away from danger. Plus, no male blood relative of mine has ever had prostate cancer back over at least 100 years. My worries are somewhere between none & zero.
I advocate that each man be active in his healthcare. Btw, I have lost a friend that made the choice to not treat his pc. Plus several co-worker had theirs removed.

That is how my PC was found, I went in for TRT, checked my PSA level and it was elevated, 3 yrs later, I'm on ft talkin about my dick implant... use trt with caution, know that it could accelerate the PC. Most men as they age will have PC, test just makes it grow faster. it does not cause PC! Get the PSA checked while on trt. Which will be for the rest of your life once you start.
I am now on trt, and cancer free. But the cancer treatment gave me ED, due to nerve damage, removal. Injection of test will not effect the implant. Peace out

I found out during a PSA check not to have an orgasm right before you get the blood test or you could wind up slightly higher. Scared the hell out of me. I’ve been on trt for a while now.

A few advantages, I can lower my test to reduce libido after my implant surgery. I can also stop trt if I need to due to PSA rather than take something to crash my testosterone. Once you start, you are on it for life. But I do feel great! It does so much more than sexual health. Im clearer, I don’t get tired, my mood is way better and since I do still go to the gym I can stay relatively lean and muscular. Not overly, I’m not taking enough to get huge….but im taking enough that brings me back to where I was roughly when I was in my early 20’s. My test levels still don’t go much above 550-700 or so. Some people get up to 900-1000 normally. I wish I could hit those levels but between 550-700 is where my body is happy.
