Hi John Reynolds,

Are you seeing a doctor or have you been diagnosed with anything? Not knowing anything about you means I can only give you general information. While online information is great for helping you ask all the right questions, online medical sites can not take the place of your doctor's sound medical advice.

You can read about PSA test numbers, what they mean and how they affect the diagnosis of prostate issues in this section located here. Dr Marc Greenstein wrote an article about PSA Velocity and what it means when PSA numbers rise quickly. You can read that article here. Dr Jay Motola has also written much about psa tests. You can read about Dr Motola here, and read all of his share posts here.

Remember, PSA numbers mean different things depending on age and medical history.

Good luck! Please staty in touch and let us know how things are going for you!
