Now have psa 19 and free psa 4.6%. Am back on antibiotics and waiting for retest of psa.
How long can a severe infection cause elevated psa???

prostatitis will elevate your psa level . If antibiotics lower it my dr says it not to be worried with . But if it doesnt lower then it could be something more serious . My psa stays about 10 . i have had 3 biopsys no cancer found
