Anal sex and psa?

[Tommy459]

I’m post prostatectomy 10 years. I have always been around 0.01 or so PSA. After my last PSA test it jumped to a 0.05.

In the week or two before the test I had a few sessions of receptive anal sex..

Has anyone else had a PSA rise from such activity?

[Tall_Allen]

You have no prostate to create PSA. Were you Gleason 6?

[Tommy459 in reply to Tall_Allen]

I was 3+4=7

Yes I know the prostate was removed but I have heard that orgasm and stimulation of the prostate bed area could cause some remaining prostate cell tissue to generate PSA. I guess either that or I have cancer.

[Tall_Allen in reply to Tommy459]

Any healthy prostate tissue atrophies. But no need to react unless there's a definite pattern.

[Tommy459 in reply to Tall_Allen]

Thanks Allen

Back to my original question you don’t think that receptive anal sex has anything to do with the lowrise like this?

[Tall_Allen in reply to Tommy459]

I doubt it.

[Tommy459 in reply to Tall_Allen]

Thanks much

I have a retest

Later this week and a doctors appointment next week so hopefully I won’t see another rise or maybe I will see it go back down.

None. Anal sex does not exacerbate pc

I also had clean margins and really good bath I’ll report after the surgery.

[Tommy459 in reply to Tommy459]

That was a typo but I meant to say was I had a good pathology report after the surgery.

[Handdrummer777 in reply to Tommy459]

A good bath is always nice too.

I was told by my doc that it does increase PSA temporarily, however it is not confirmed by any study or data that it increases the risk of resurgence, there is a study at UCLA however the links anal sex to anal cancer...,

[Tommy459 in reply to RiverOaks]

Many thanks river oaks! I’ll look for that study

I've heard of PSA rising pre-surgery after receptive anal sex (or bike riding :), but not afterward.

[TerryUK in reply to ATXGuy]

That has been my experience, although I did not have enough PSA tests before my prostatectomy to be sure. After the operation on 1 May 2018, I took six weeks to recover, four of those without cycling, my main sport.

I resumed full, deep but not wide penetration of the anus, rectum & lower colon, which took some six months from the time I had recovered from the operation. My advice is to go very very slowly. Know your limits. It’s your body and you, only you, know it best. No pushing, no pain, no blood.

My experience has been that after 18 months of gradually widening and deepening, my sexual pleasure has become ecstatic. Out of this world. In my playroom with my male lovers I am in heaven. And if possible they are too.

Troy.

Good luck! 😊🙏💥🎶🕺🏻❤️☀️🐷🥳😀⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
