The first thing they'll likely do is repeat the PSA test. Many normal activities can cause a temporary fluctuation like that, so they'll try to determine if your last reading is the start of a trend, or just a temporary blip.

Best of luck, and keep up with the screening!

Just left my PCP and they repeated the PSA test, should have results in a few days. If still elevated, then I have to go to the urologist.

My PCP told me that when he was diagnosed with prostate cancer that his PSA went from 0.9 to 2.7, not exactly reassuring
