My PSA test was 3.7. 5 weeks later I retested but was 4.7. I had masturbated the night before,can that effect the results?

My PSA was high,4 .7 ,can masturbation night before blood test effect PSA levels? I asked my Dr ,but he refused to answer, insisting I have to ask a urologist

I would run this test

PSA , Free:Total Ratio Reflex

PSA circulates through the body in two ways; bound to other proteins or by itself. Unbound PSA is called free PSA. A free-PSA test will measure the percentage of unbound PSA while a PSA test is used to measure the total of free and bound PSA in the blood
