A lot of men submit to a horrible procedure.
They get needles stuck into their bowels to penetrate the prostate and draw out a sample.
Or even more invasive biopsies.
Surgery even.
Not to mention huge worry.
All over what?
A number — a PSA score.
PSA measures a specific chemical signature that spills out into the blood when the prostate supposedly is potentially cancerous.
However, PSA itself is a normal chemical mix.
It’s part of the natural ejaculate process, and scientists also believe it’s part of the fertilization process.
So, the question of a PSA score rising and what causes it is not a question of “is it cancer?”
Even if it is cancer, prostate cancer is in almost all cases very benign.
Only about 2% or 3% of affected men will eventually die from prostate cancer.

Most of the men will die from the treatments for prostate cancer or from old age.
Or they’ll die from problems other than prostate cancer.
The question is, what if you don’t treat your prostate cancer at all?
What if PSA levels are higher and you do nothing?
This idea isn’t the subject of very many studies.
In our Western medicine, there is great incentive to overtreat everything.
Especially with a third-party insurance company paying.
And it’s not any different in even countries with a single-payer system.
Although there is less incentive to over treat, overtreatment is the norm when it comes to prostate cancer for men.
Lifetime risks of dying from prostate cancer are close to the 3%.
There you have it.
Even if you ignore a rising PSA level, your chances of death from prostate cancer are still quite low.
Nevertheless, prostate cancer today is a great concern of men who experience a rising PSA level.
So, let’s look at what actually causes a rising PSA level other than prostate cancer.
This is a study where they tested prostate tissue and the effect of various hormones on that tissue.
They found that DHT causes the prostate to spill PSA into the bloodstream.
But it only does it when accompanied by another hormone, SHBG.
And more importantly, they also found that estrogen causes the PSA levels to increase.
The most potent form of estrogen is estradiol.
And this is much more important finding.
It shows that estradiol is the primary reason for men to experience rising PSA levels other than cancer.
It is far more common for men to have elevated estrogen levels and an elevated PSA levels as a result of that than to have prostate cancer.
If you want to lower your PSA levels, then you want to lower your estrogen.
If you lower your estrogen levels a lot of things will improve over time.
Even high blood pressure and type two diabetes can often improve.
Plus, things like weight, muscle mass, mood, and anxiety can get better with lower estrogen levels.

“Pushing boundaries and having an element of surprise is part of what makes flirting and sex thrilling, but I worry about the assumption that asking for consent is unsexy. I’ve had experiences where I’ve been making out with someone, and he says ‘I’m really into this. I’d love it if we kept going. How about you?’ Having a partner who checks in doesn’t erase the thrill of the encounter; knowing that the person I’m with cares enough to actually ask for consent makes me more attracted, not less.”
“We taught our kids the proper names for anatomy when they were one. My favorite story is from when my son was two. We went to a bakery to get a treat, and I read all the options aloud to him. I’ve always encouraged our kids to order for themselves, so he did: unfortunately, he asked the woman behind the counter for a ‘red vulva cookie’!”
“I grew up in a Catholic family where we didn’t discuss sex, so my sex education came from peers, my Catholic school and Cosmopolitan Magazine. This situation has hammered home to me the need to educate my children, a girl and a boy, about what equates to consent: that changing your mind is ok; that asserting your decision clearly is good thing; and checking that your partner is consenting during your encounter is the right thing to do. Unlike my education, I will have open and honest discussions around sex and relationships, no matter how uncomfortable.
