Will an ejaculation 12 hours prior to a prostate MRI skew the results ?

Thanks'

No - only skews PSA.

I just scheduled another MRI for June and they told me to a vi oíd ejaculation for three days prior. 🤷🏻‍♂️

That is exactly what the instructions indicated to me where ever I had a prostate MRI. Stanford, UCSF, and UCLA, all said the same thing.

Fellas, as one who no longer can have ejaculations, I say have them as often as you can and to heck with any scans you may have scheduled.

Not what you're looking for?
