Am I right in thinking , 6 monthly test coming up soon , to get an ‘accurate ‘ Reading is it best to have no sex before the test ?

Yes, no ejaculation, prostate massage, or strenuous exercise for a couple of days before. It will help to get consistent results.


Also avoid a PSA test for a month or two after COVID, and for a month after a COVID jab. These can both result in temporary higher readings.
