I've had 3 cyctoscopy over the years and even some laser work 5 years ago to enlarge the bladder neck, but this last one was done after it was noticed that my PSA level was up. The urologist said it looked inflamed and put me on antibiotics. That helped for a month or so and then it came back. The urologist did not think I had another infection so... more

I have symptoms of prostastitis or Prostatodynia (being tested now) but my PSA also popped up to over 5. I'm 46 years old.

Does prostatitis cause elevated PSA levels?

I have been getting conflicting information from my family doctor and my urologist. My doctor says that I could well have bacterial prostatitis even if my urine and semen samples come back clean. My urologist says not and that one of the tests will show it if it is bacterial. Have any of you heard any information on this?

thanks
