PSA level vs vasectomy question

When I had my tubes cut, they were not sewn up or cauterized which I believe is standard practice (in states), I elected to just have a .375" chunk cut out of each of them then and everything stuffed back inside and sewn back scrotum. I did this so they would never be able to be reconnected or reversed. So my assumption (correct me if I am wrong) is that there must be residual fluids floating in my system from the vas deferens. Doesn't that fluid if any increase blood PSA also? or Free PSA floating around my system? Curious if anyone has knowledge of that, or if I am completely wrong on anatomy.

I had a similar thought though its origin differed. I determined my hoping was wrong early on.
