Can Prostatitis Along With Lower Back Pain Result In Increased PSA Levels?

Hi, can prostatitis cause a raise in PSA levels. my level has risen from 5.8 to 7.55 in 6 months. I live in China at the moment and won t have a biopsy here. I have a lot of the symptoms of prostatitis, chronic lower back pain with the pain going through to my left testicle, sometimes trouble urinating consistently, no problem at night though. My specialist in Australia wants me to back for a biopsy but I am unable to at the moment. Your advice would be appreciated.
