Magno Sex Hormones
PSA on TRT
What the number means, why it moves on a protocol, and what people usually do about it.
What it is
Prostate specific antigen is a protein the prostate leaks into the blood. It is the screening number for prostate trouble and it rises a little on testosterone.
The range
TRT-aware target
under 2.5 ng/mL
How to read the lab range
Under 2.5 ng/mL is comfortable, under 4 is the usual cut-off. On TRT the rule of thumb is a rise of more than 1.4 within a year, or above 4, means a urology check.
Why it moves on a protocol
- TRT lifts PSA a little in the first year, then it settles.
- Cycling, sex or a prostate infection in the two days before the draw.
- Age and a benignly enlarged prostate.
What people usually do · not a recommendation
- Retest after 48 hours with no cycling and no ejaculation before believing a jump.
- This is one people do not self-manage: a confirmed rise goes to a urologist.
How Magno reads it
Import the PDF or a photo of the report and Magno finds PSA on it, keeps every test on one line, shows the change since the last one, and reads it against TRT-aware thresholds rather than the lab's generic range. The panel it belongs to, Sex Hormones, gets a written verdict with the probable causes and what people usually do.

Questions people ask
Does TRT cause prostate cancer?
The evidence says no for men screened before starting. It can make an existing cancer grow, which is why PSA is checked before and during.
How often should PSA be checked on TRT?
Before starting, at three to six months, then yearly, more often over 50 or with a family history.
