Can anxiety and stress raise your PSA ?

Thanks,

Stress...that is a new one; I would say that the power of the mind is always something to behold. But, as far as I have read, no...PSA will go up or down depending on many other factors that have been studied...one thing that can make PSA change is diet and vitamins and what you eat. There are many articles on this and if you want to try to control PSA from rising, or at least try to do what you can other from than treatment or prescriptions meds (which cannot be eliminated), then try diet...there are lots of articles. I like this on on Vitamin D...lots has been written and studied on this vitamin and its affect on PSA and via that on PCa (prostate cancer). Try these LINKS and see what they say...

1. ART Vitamin D Supplement PCa Progression; - academic.oup.com/jcem/artic...

- Conclusions; Patients with low-risk prostate cancer under active surveillance may benefit from vitamin D3 supplementation at 4000 IU/d.

2. ART Effect of Vitamin D3 Supplements on Development of Advanced Cancer;

- jamanetwork.com/journals/ja...

• randomized clinical trial with 25 871 patients, from November 1, 2011, to December 31, 2017.

• supplementation with vitamin D3 reduced the incidence of advanced (metastatic or fatal) cancer in the overall cohort,

• with strongest risk reduction in individuals with normal weight

• and no reduction among individuals with overweight or obesity.

• Our findings suggest that vitamin D supplementation may be operating through a general, rather than site-specific, mechanism to reduce the risk of advanced cancer.

3. JAMMA Article Vit D3: Also, there is no getting around it; BMI (body mass index) does a lot to control all types of cancer and this may have the greatest impact of all; see the JAMA study, Table 3...25,254 cases and if your BMI is under 25 the HR (hazard ratio; the chances of you advancing to each category), is 58-65%...meaning you have a 42-35% reduction in risk (with a 4-8% chance of being wrong)! But, we all know losing and keeping weigh off is hard...really hard, yet it has a significant impact...then there is Exercise...next time...Cheers
