[|Human|] Can Epididymitis raise your psa level.  Am 60 have had Epididymitis 2 times in the last 25 years.  Psa level went from 1.3 to 11 in 3 years.  Just tested and then discovered the Epididymitis-- had thought it was pain from riding long distances on a motorcycle.
[|AI|]  Hi welcome to the Chat Doctor PSA level more than 10 needs further evaluation Let me know you, if associated prostate inflammation or BPH present then PSA can be high..... For epididymis rule out infective etiology like chlamydia, gonorrhea by urine examination, urine culture and serological testing as per need If needed antibiotic course can be prescribed for that For inflammation relief ibuprofen can be prescribed After epididymis resolves again check PSA and if still more than 10 then I will suggest you to consult surgeon for per rectal prostate palpation and sonography investigation for further prostate work up Hope your concern solved
