Masterbation & PCA

Been on Firmagon since 2016. Undectectable ever since. Started vacation 6 months ago. PSA now 0.180. I masterbate twice a night. Could masterbation be causing my PSA to rise?

this subject comes up - no pun intended - in our support group and the general consensus is that masturbation and bike riding too close to when the PSA test is done can result in higher numbers. It is not part of my situation - but that seems to be what several guys in the group report. What does your Dr say ?
