Can Gall Bladder Operation Cause Increase In Psa Level?
I am 64 years old and in the last 7 months had gallbladder surgery the old fashoned way - not laproscopically. I also had severe jaundice as there was a stone stuck in the bile duct. I was released from the doctor in May. Had a physical this month and my psa was elevate to 5.3 would the surgery have caused this to go up?
