PSA Rising? Ask These 3 Questions

from Intellectual Medicine Hosted by Dr. Stephen Petteruti

Staying strong through prostate cancer means more than treatments and procedures. In this episode, Dr. Stephen Petteruti offers a clear, rational approach to understanding what a PSA increase really means and how to respond with confidence. Dr. Stephen explains why so many men fall into what he calls “PSA paranoia,” where a single number sparks panic and unnecessary interventions. He breaks down the facts: PSA levels naturally rise with age and prostate size, and even temporary factors, like illness, sex, or biking, can cause fluctuations. Instead of rushing into biopsies or aggressive treatments, he guides listeners to ask three essential questions before taking action: Is the number accurate? What’s causing the rise? And is intervention actually necessary? Through his Intellectual Medicine Petteruti Protocol, Dr. Stephen emphasizes proactive, evidence-based care that protects both health and quality of life. If your PSA has gone up, this episode will help you make decisions grounded in science, not fear. Tune in now: PSA Rising? Ask These 3 Questions. Enjoy the podcast?
