Hi,

Two three years ago, my PSA level went up to 69 and the Doctor got it
investigated.

He found infection and that was treated with antibiotics.  I also used
garlic as extra treatment and it worked.

The PSA count came down to 6.1. last year but this year it has gone to
9.1.

Doctor did get ultrasound, samples of prostate gland taken for Cancer,
etc but did not find any trace of it.

Sometimes I would get restricted flow of urine with pain but on other
occasion, it is normal flow with no pain.

Now, the urine flow is normal.  I take one tablet of Cardura XL 4mg. at
night.  Doctor says it is good for flow of blood to prostate gland.

I am going for a further examinations and your views are welcome.

I am 71 years old with good health.  I play tennis and go to gym every
evening.  I feel a little down and it could be due to cold at present.
A bit below normal health but nothing worrying.

I am a retired lecturer but take active part in gardening too.

Raj,
It might be helpful to get (rectal) ultrasound of prostate. A large prostate
can increase PSA score - even if it wasn't blocking urine flow.
