What Causes Rise In PSA Level?

My husband has prostate cancer. He has had it for 7 years now and has had Lucerin. He has had radiation for 6 weeks and Brachytherapy therapy. Earlier this year his PSA came up to 18 again so was given another needle to get it down again. His specialist has now taken him off all medication and will see in December what his PSA is. Now he says he doesn t want to be intimate as he thinks the testosterone will make the numbers go up again. Is this true as it is driving me insane.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
His PSA level is high. There are many reasons for high PSA. He may have recurrence of prostate cancer or benign prostatic hyperplasia or chronic prostatitis. So you should either wait and repeat the PSA level or go for biopsy. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
