Imodium, which contains loperamide, is primarily used to treat diarrhea and is not known to directly cause prostate-specific antigen (PSA) elevation. However, if gastrointestinal issues lead to discomfort or stress, this could indirectly affect PSA levels. It's always best to consult a healthcare professional if there are concerns about PSA levels or potential side effects of medications.

Can diverticulitis cause a high psa blood test?

Diverticulitis itself typically does not cause a high PSA (prostate-specific antigen) blood test. However, inflammation or infection in the pelvic region, including conditions like diverticulitis, may potentially lead to elevated PSA levels as a secondary effect. It's essential to consider other factors and conditions that can affect PSA levels, such as prostate issues or infections. Always consult a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and interpretation of PSA results.
