| most urologist will want to do a biopsy if you have 2 or 3 consecutive PSA tests above 5. If in 3 months you are still at a 7 and your urologist still doesnt recommend a biopsy, I would be getting a second opinion from a urologist in a different office, not one of his collegues in the same office.
Mine was 5.5-6.5 over 3 tests, with no symtoms, but a biopsy showed I was a Gleason 7
A friend of mine has been running PSAs from 6-8 over 5 years, and has had 3 biopsies, and is still a Gleason 6, and is doing Active surveilience.
The point is if you are consistantly over 5 on multipull test, you need a biopsy to find out whats going on in there.
