It is important to be consistent with how I prepare for my PSA tests so they are accurate and also because I want changes in my score to not be the result of something I did differently just before the test.  Here is my checklist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. \u00a0Fasting, including no water, from Midnight the night before.\u00a0 At most a sip of water to take my morning meds.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. No workouts for the last 48 hours before the test.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. No bike riding for the last 48 hours before the test.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Take the test within 2 hours of waking up that morning, and before 10 AM<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. No sexual activity\u00a0 for the last 48 hours before the test.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
