If you haven't already done so, it would be good to get a biopsy from your doctor. Here are a couple of research papers on effect of covid on PSA levels and such. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10159928/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8493783/

Thanks for the reference study. Anecdotal data suggests I was extremely impacted.
I’m being monitored by a urologist. For the time being I am NOT pushing for prostate biopsies.
I am hoping MRI and PSMA PET scan technology in the US improves and replaces the need for biopsies in the monitoring stage.
Biopsies are notoriously inconclusive when negative results are obtained.
I have done some research on the topic when there were some hints at doing biopsies.
I am now a strong believer that we must be our own advocate in health care.

Thank you for the research studies. Very interesting! We really do need more information about post-Covid health issues.
