PSA value caused by seminal vesicles

I had an electroporation as primary therapy for the prostate. Based on an MRI before the therapy the doctors decided not to treat the seminal vesicles, they just ablated the prostate. So these vesicles are benign prostate tissue left after therapy which, as I assume, does generate PSA.

Is it possible to estimate how much of my PSA value is caused by these seminal vesicles?

It varies from person to person. But, unless the tissue is damaged in some way (inflammation, hyperplasia, cancer), it should not put out much PSA at all.
