What impact on the PSA level can have?

following points highlight which may affect the PSA level:

A. size of the prostate
In almost all men, the prostate gradually increased with age (see above benign prostate enlargement). One gram of healthy prostate tissue increases the PSA to 0.3 ng / ml, a gram of prostate cancer but ng to 10 times or about 3 / ml. In addition, increases in prostate cancer the PSA level in the blood faster than in the benign prostate enlargement. The weight of the prostate can be by means of transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) to determine quite precisely over the measured volume. Prostate weight of 40 grams of age are not uncommon.
as pressure on the prostate
The PSA level may be increased by pressure on the prostate gland, which exerts example, during the cycling, sexual activity or sexual intercourse or rectal examination of the prostate. Thus should be avoided in such cases on a subsequent blood sample, since such an increase - albeit small - can distort the evaluability, especially if the PSA level in the so-called marginal or gray area between 4 and 10 ng / ml, in the no clear statement can be made.
C. Acute urinary retention
(possible large increase in PSA)
D. cystoscopy
(possible large increase in PSA)
E. catheterization
(possible large increase in PSA)
F. trauma
(possible increase in PSA) prostate biopsy
G.
(limited potential for increase in time)
H. Acute or chronic prostatitis
(possible increase in PSA)
I. Finasteridhaltige drugs
(possible severe reduction in PSA)
J. Radiation therapy of prostate
(transient increase in PSA)
K. transurethral prostate resection
(possible increase a time period)
L. Radical prostatectomy
(decrease of PSA level)
