abstract

background: the serum prostate specific antigen (psa) levels are used for prostate cancer screening. some conditions such as prostatitis, manipulation, and prostate cancer could influence on serum psa. the impact of ejaculation on serum psa is controversial. the aim of our study was to evaluate the relation of ejaculation and the levels of serum psa. materials and methods: in this cross-sectional study, 60 healthy voluntary men below and over 50 years during the year 2009-2011 were participated. after history taking, physical examination, and identical lower urinary tract symptoms score (american urologic association score = aua); three blood samples were taken before, 1 and 24 h after ejaculation. results: patients categorized into a non-screening group (age less than 50 years, n = 25), and screening group (age ≥ 50 years, n = 35). our data showed significant psa rising in both groups 1 h after ejaculation ( p value < 0.05); however, comparison of psa levels in both groups, before and 24 h after ejaculation showed no significant differences. spearman coefficient of correlation was showed a positive correlation between psa in all stage and aua score in the second group, but there were no such correlation in the first group. conclusion: 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.

Association between rs2735839 and Serum Prostate-specific Antigen Level Regarding Risk of Prostate Cancer in Iranian Population

Background and Objective: Prostate cancer is among the five common cancers in males. It is second cancer in terms of the age-standardized rate (ASR) (ASR=16.6) in Iran. The rs2735839 G/A, an intergenic polymorphism is located on chromosome 19q13.33 at 600 base pairs of the KLK3 gene untranslatable region. This gene which codes prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is used in the screening and diagnos...

Age Specific Reference Levels of Serum Prostate-Specific Antigen, Prostate Volume and Prostate Specific Antigen Density in Healthy Iranian Men

Background: It is relevant to highlight that there is not a precise and perfect report on either 95 percentile value (upper limit of normal range) or on appropriate reference intervals for serum PSA in Iranian population. Objective: To determine age-specific reference ranges for serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) concentration and PSA density (PSAD) and prostate volumes in a population of he...

The Effect of Ejaculation Frequency on Serum Prostate- Specific Antigen Level Ejakülasyon Sıklığının Serum Prostat Spesifik Antijen Düzeyine Etkisi

Objective: Serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels are very important in the diagnosis of prostate cancer. Besides prostate cancer, PSA levels can also be increased by cystoscopy, prostate biopsy, prostatitis, and manipulation. There are also studies reporting that ejaculation affects serum PSA levels. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of ejaculation frequency on serum PSA...
