PSA levels increase. When to be concerned?

Thank you everyone!
The urologist was satisfied with the 2.35 level and emailed to tell him to continue with the annual PSA screening next year. I think I would be happier with a recheck in 6 months because of the increase from 1.1. But then again, this is NOT my area of expertise.
My fathers had been around 4 for so long that increased to 6, further tests to find was PC, had Robotic procedure (ralp) - has been good since.
Thank you again for your replies and stay healthy!!!

I think it's ok to push back a bit if you want and ask for 6-month PSA screening instead of annual, at least for a couple of years. As I mentioned, it's so inexpensive and non-invasive that there's no harm in having it done a bit more often if that will help your and his peace of mind.
