PSA Levels

Hey everyone.

I don't visit often as I've been doing my own thing - using the silly stretcher for ~10 hours a day, and more recently pumping to low/medium levels.

A concerning thing happened though - my PSA levels had shot up from 0.6 or so to 4.1 in maybe 15 months. Dr. thought it might be an infection. Took some antibiotics and two weeks later it was back down to I think 1.3 or so. (Forget the exact numbers offhand; irrelevant overall to the story)

Physical exam suggested all was well.

But during this journey of thinking I had PC, I discovered a lot of things cause PSA levels to rise. Ejaculation, exercise - especially cycling. Any trauma to the urethra such as a catheter.

So I think my PSA surged due to my hobby. That the trauma caused prostate inflammation / stress and that caused my PSA to go up. (Between my two tests I cut back on all my 'training')

Now here's the kicker... It seems that such inflammation may actually cause prostate cancer.

My post is really to see if anyone else has experienced heightened PSA levels. I've cut back for now.

Thanks!
