I went for my regular annual routine check-up last year August, manual test was fine, but PSA was up from 3.2 to 4.8. So he wanted to do biopsy immediately, with course in antibiotics for possible infection after biopsy... It was 2 months before our long planned trip to cycle the Camino de Santiago in Spain, so THAT would have placed the whole trip (paid for already by that time) in jeopardy. So I phoned my mate- medical dr in Canada- he sent me medical research articles wherein it was confirmed that it is a well known fact that serious cycling might significantly indicate raised PSA levels. His advice: stop cycling for 10 days and re-do the test. So I did- went cycling in Spain, stayed of my bike for 10 days thereafter, and went for the test again... PSA back down to 3.4...
