Psa

[Harn]

Getting some lab work done prior to my first cycle and wondering if I should get a psa? The reason I ask is I can get all the basic lab work done for free at work but the psa would be a send out so I would have to pay. wasnt sure if everyone gets this done or just if you have problems I know normaly its for men over 40.

Depends on your age Bro. You haven't listed your age on your profile so, no-one knows what to say to you on this count. Basically, IMO, if you're under 35, it probably isn't necessary to get a base-line on you prostate. Just get a physical check-up once per year which will include a recatl exam

If you don't experience symptoms, you're cool for now. If over 35 and using Test, you may want to consider a baseline PSA reading...Chances are very good you won't develop problems if dosages are kept in reasonable ranges but, it's nice to know where you started from.

More importantly, get a full panel blood test to begin with...knowing your beginning hormone levels will be important if you are going to run AS.

Ahh thanks Magnum , 38 yo so I guess it would be smart to go ahead and get it done.

I am on TRT and a PSA test was required along with other bloodwork, of course, to get my testosterone prescription and i'm only 28. Just my 2 cents.
