Talk to your doctor about it and see what
he or she thinks. When you get results
back from anything like that you should
discuss what it means and what the next
step will be with your doctor.
I believe anything under 2.5 is considered
low, and many things can cause your levels
to fluctuate. So what you described does
not sound like anything to panic about,
but talk to the doctor just in case. He
or she might want to keep an eye on your
psa and see if it continues to increase.
