Yeah, I had that happen to me.

In about 2007, my PSA was normally about 6.0 and I was seeing a Urologist every six months. Then I went to a doctor for a yearly physical exam and got a PSA reading of 35.0.

The computer came to my rescue. I had just gotten over a urinary trac infection, and a web site said that can cause a high PSA. I went to my urologist, got some medicine to deal with the UTI, and my PSA returned to 6.0.
