Other conditions can raise a PSA level, i.e. infection, Prostatitis, BPH. I never heard or read anything about the ejaculation reason. Sure, he should have discussed other possibilities for an elevated PSA.
He definitely should be further investigating the situation. What exactly is he doing for you?
Ok great but to ease mine and my family's mind how often is a high PSA something other than cancer?
Hello Larry, you need to know your PSA numbers and any you may have had in previous years to track the elevations. The PSA cannot tell you it is cancer, the only way for to tell is by a biopsy. There are other medical reasons for an elevated PSA other than cancer, like an enlarged prostate and Inflammation. I myself have gone through quite a bit of testing, and yes it can scare you quite a bit. Hang in there and here is a resource to find informaton, www.pcf.org This is the prostate cancer foundation, here you will find out quite a lot of information regarding PSA and conditions which can cause an elevation. Take care... Frank
