30 yrs old, total psa all over the place, free psa 8.5%

hi all, 30 yr old male, originally total psa back in 2025 was 0.69. in may of this year it jumped to 3.9. urologist thought prostate was infected, got on antibiotics, have tested twice since then, in june and july, went to 3.1 and now 2.82. but now is the first time i've had my free psa tested and it's at an 8.5%

i understand for my age the odds are extremely rare that i would have cancer and that my total psa does not fall in the grey area with a free psa being so low, but for how low it is has me very worried.

any insight or personal experience would be greatly appreciated and help me calm my nerves
