I have a prostate infection and my PSA was 12.6
I went on antibiotics for 3 weeks then 3 more weeks
waiting for the drug to get out of my system.
Next PSA was 0.7, Doctor says it's normal.

I Have pelvic pain and other systems that i think i might have
Prosatitis.

What is the norm for PSA?  I thought it was 0.4 for a high.
I do have BPH and want this to clear up so i can get the PVP
and get this all done with.

Wow --- that's a heck of a fluctuation!!

My understanding is that under 4 is fine, unless the velocity is high (ie:
.4 to 2.4 to 3.9, etc.)

I am also on Proscar and i think that lowers the PSA levels.
