Guest guest Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 I know from the literature that PSA can rise if the patient has sex or rides a bicycle in the day(s) preceding the blood draw. How about if the patient has already had his prostate removed? Can strenuous exercise (like bicycling) cause a rise in PSA? I'm 5+ years since prostate removal. It's been an ordeal all the way. My Gleason is a 9. I've had RP, chemo, salvage radiation, and am on Lupron and Casodex. In the past year, my PSA went from undetectable to 0.1, to 0.2, to o.4, to 0.6, to 0.7. Today I got the latest results. Today my PSA is 1.3. It was 0.7 in November. It struck me that I had ridden the exercise bicycle for 30 minutes the day before my latest blood draw. Without a prostate, could I expect an increase in PSA due to the exercise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
