What effect will SI have on PSA readings after the procedure and for how long might the procedure affect PSA readings?
PSA readings initially can actually be higher than original PSA if done shortly after the implant. This is probably due to the trauma of the procedure. Typically, PSA levels gradually fall over the first year. We have seen PSA levels continuing to fall over several years. Patients should be aware that often PSA levels could artificially increase and then subsequently decrease. We have seen this particularly at twelve to twenty four months from the implant. We are not sure why this “PSA “blip” occurs.
