In fact, it's better for blood draws if you are well hydrated! NOTICE REGARDING TUMOUR MARKERS: PSA levels can be raised for reasons other than prostate cancer, which can lead to false positives. Common causes include an enlarged prostate (BPH), prostate inflammation or infection (prostatitis), recent ejaculation, urinary tract infections, or recent procedures involving the prostate such as catheter use or biopsies. Even vigorous exercise like cycling can temporarily raise PSA. For the most accurate results, avoid ejaculation, cycling, and prostate manipulation (e.g. DRE) for 48 hours before testing. CA125 levels can also be elevated by a range of non-cancerous conditions, particularly those involving inflammation or hormonal changes. Menstruation, endometriosis, ovarian cysts, early pregnancy, pelvic infections, and recent abdominal surgery can all cause false positives. CA125 may also be raised in liver disease or other cancers such as pancreatic or lung. For reliable results, it's best to avoid testing during menstruation and to inform us of any recent surgeries or relevant health conditions.
