Hello, AB58
Welcome to the forum.
Your current PSA level of 1.4 ng/mL is well within the normal range for a 67-year-old man (abnormal range is greater than 4.5) but the recent doubling from 0.7 to 1.4 over two years indicates a change in trend that could be worth discussing with your doctor. Who may give you a DRE or tests to see if the rise could be caused by non cancerous urinary infections.
You could also consider having a PSA retest in about 3 months time.
There are many reasons apart from Pca that can cause a PSA jump.
General ageing. Over 60% of men of your age will have some cancerous prostate cells
Several benign (non-cancerous) factors can cause fluctuations:
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH): Natural enlargement of the prostate as you age.
Prostatitis: Inflammation or a mild, unnoticed infection in the prostate.
UTIs
Recent Activity: Recent ejaculation, bike riding, or other physical exertion.
Good luck.👍
