Thanks for all the advice. Interestingly, it was my severe bout of colitis that resulted in me not getting my PSA annually. I just got so ill that going for my annual was not on my to do list. I will...
I was 2.4 3years prior. I am not sure if that would be considered a significant increase or not....
Well there is a Harvard study in 2015 that stated on average after a 50km ride if the blood was taken within an hour there was on average a 15 percent increase in the PSA levels. But, if you look on...
But don’t you find it strange that a bike ride can inflate a PSA so acutely? I went up over 50%. You would have to think the inflammation caused by the ride that produces a higher PSA level is not...
Just wanted to give you an update. Did my PSA again and stopped cycling for these days prior. It went from 4.2 to 2.7. Can’t believe the decrease due to cycling! Thanks for all your assistance!...
I have a strange question. My PSA levels have gone up in the last year. I went for a long bike ride prior to my test, which is a real no no as riding can elevate your PSA and hence need a retest....
Thanks folks. Dealing with UC currently so hope to not be battling two fights at the same time. I will retest later this week before going to see my GI....
Thanks for the quick reply. Can riding and sex make that big of a difference?? How long do I need to abstain from either?...
I am on this site with colitis. I am a 53 year old who suddenly has a PSA of 4.2. I rode my bike for 3 hours 1 hour before I did the blood work. Should I be alarmed by my high PSA? Thanks, Hugo...
Great to hear. My GI who is one of the top IBD specialists in Canada claims he is not having great results or his colleagues with Xeljanz. I see on this forum really good results but my GI claims if...
I used that foam that I was so excited about. It is NOT like the cortifoam. Feels like you are throwing a can of whip cream up your ass. I have never had to expel my rectal products before trying...
Quincy it is mezera 1gram. It looks funky to administer but I shall try! Thanks,...
Little update- Last couple weeks threw the kitchen sick at the rectum with supps and enemas. Things have improved. Way less urgency and no blood. On another note I have found out we have foam...
Thanks Quincy, I know I am flaring. The only thing I wonder is what the enema will do if I only have rectal inflammation. My GI says it doesn’t hit the area but it can’t hurt? I am jumping on the...
1gram Supps Quincy. Generally well formed but 3/4 BM’s versus 2 and for sure more urgency. Only small amounts of blood at the very end of the stool. A little bit of tenesmus as well....
