Zytiga goes to all of the places that create testosterone in your body and shuts them down. It also has a lot more side effects than Erleada. Those probably wouldn’t be a problem for you since you’re so young. It’s just that your testosterone is so high that I am not sure it would make a significant difference.
If you were riding a bike or any other type exercise equipment that was pushing against your perineum that can raise your PSA a little, But not very much. Maybe .1.
If you are running heavily, it can raise your testosterone walking is unlikely to make any change at all. What you eat will have a minimal effect on your testosterone level.
You should continue to be active and running if possible. ADT causes a lot of fatigue and the way to get around it is to exercise. That’s why I run on the track twice a day. That’s another reason I go to the gym three times a week. Not only will your muscles deteriorate when you are on ADT, but you get fatigue which can be offset by the exercising. I know it sounds like it doesn’t make sense, but it is true and it’s something that we talk about in the online meetings all the time.
Having sex is not a problem if you don’t do it two days before getting your testosterone checked. Even right after it only makes a small change in your testosterone level. The way they measure it where you are it probably would make, at the most, a .1 difference.

Yes, but how can we determine the cause of elevated testosterone levels? Cancer or other factors?
Let me remind you that my doctor, after seeing my testosterone and PSA results, told me that my PSA and testosterone levels were stable and recommended eating foods that lower testosterone. My doctor is a very skilled specialist and works at a leading medical center.
My only concern is that despite changing medications, my levels are slowly rising and not falling, although they should be falling because I'm taking ADT and Erleada. Does this mean I started Erleada too late and the cancer is too late to stop?
I understand there are no answers to my questions. If Zytiga is truly stronger than Erleada, then I need to quickly quit and demand an oncology consultation. Otherwise, I have no chance.
Our healthcare system simply can't physically prescribe Zytiga to me because there's no funding and "they'll send me into space with my monstrous problem."
Yet Zytiga is sold here, but I can't buy it without a prescription! What a contradiction! Double standards: some people can take it, while others can't!
