Effect of ejaculation on serum prostate specific antigen level in screening and non-screening population.

Abstract

There was a significant relationship between ejaculation and the levels of serum PSA in screening and non-screening patients. However, in non-screening men significant rising of PSA after 1 h of ejaculation was not important clinically (not achieve to greater than 4 ng/ml). Taking a history of ejaculation in men older 50 years especially with high AUA score could prevent false positive results and subsequent un-necessary work-ups.
