Prostate lesions found, biopsy results, No symptoms

Thank you @web265
Had no previous PSA tests done before. Blood sample for my PSA test was done about 30 min after DRE, again I'm reading this can increase PSA results by 50%.
All in all, I had had sex only 24 hours of blood sample, I had done intense exercise 5-6 hours prior to the blood sample and I had the DRE exam onle 30 min before the blood sample. Seems to me we are jumping a bit too fast on the invasive biopsy requirement. Yes for the MRI (actualy mpMRI), yes for second PSA and then decide on course of action... thx again, I'm new to all this and simply hope it was a ''bad' timing'' blood sample...

I hope so as well! Fingers crossed for this to be the case! , but, I wouldn't let these thoughts guide you to anything but closely monitoring that PSA.

Best of Luck to you!
