Can A Benign Adenomatous Polyp Cause High PSA Levels?

Could a benign adenomatous polyp cause a high PSA? In 2009 my PSA WAS 3.6. In 2011 it was 7. In dec 2013 - 10.3 and June 2014 - 11.0. I had a prostate biopsy in Dec 2013 and it was negative. I just had a colonoscopy and had 4 polyps removed. They were benign. Any ideas if that could cause a high PSA level

Hi, dear.
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Your PSA level is high. Benign polyp doesn't causes rise in PSA level. You may have some other causes like chronic prostatitis or benign prostatic hyperplasia. You should consult urologist. If your PSA level goes on rising then you should go for repeat biopsy. You may have some occult carcinoma. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
