Probably a dumb question, but I will ask anyway. Dumb question and embarrassing topic, what a combo!

Next week I go for my first PSA and f/u visit after RARP in December. Before surgery I always abstained from sex for a few days before PSA. Is that necessary now? I assume since I no longer have a prostate that sex cannot raise PSA but don't want any unpleasant surprises when I get my test results.

After a prostatectomy, your PSA should be unchanged After sex. No prostate no PSA to speak of.
