Masturbation post prostatectomy and radiation. Will it affect PSA?
Prostate Cancer | Last Active: Sep 25 11:48am | Replies (39)Comment receiving replies
I had a Prostatectomy AND salvage radiation 7 years later. My oncologist told me not to ride a bike a day or two before my PSA test, which doesn’t make sense to me. Any thoughts? He also said , said would not have any effect on the test.

WITH a prostate you can irritate the prostate if riding a bike , having sex etc ... so you have to be carful on irritation and a high PSA level . this is most logical . Now WITHOUT A PROSTATE, you could still have prostate tissues in are ( very small if at all though ) and your Dr, could be talking about those loose fragments . Potentially they( loose random prostate cells either cancerous or perfectly normal cells ) could get irritated potentially too . This COULD be what your Dr is talking about (?) .

Doesn't make any sense to me either.
So your prostate was removed and riding a bike would no longer cause irritation to prostate. But he said not to ride a bike prior to PSA?
Then he said to you that riding the bike would not have any effect on the PSA test?
If I had him for my oncologist I would be asking him WHAT?
