Women CC members probably don't need to take a PSA test.
Not unless you want to take risk of invasive treatment that you might not really require.

It can, but the big C isnt one of them.

If you are going numb down below; check your bike setup and saddle.

I’m talking in terms of riders with the perfect saddle and bike fit. There must still be an increased risk than non cyclists.
A quick google says cycling may actually reduce the chance of prostate cancer.

What about just swelling it up?
You sound desperate to find an issue with cycling and your prostrate gland.🤔

I had a PSA test yesterday and it's fine. I was warned against cycling/vigorous exercise (and several other things irrelevant to me) in the preceding 48 hours as that can sometimes temporarily raise antigens. No mention in any of the blurb that any activity increases cancer chances.
No sh@gging then 🫣

I'm tested every year because of medication, and I've usually cycled that morning to work ! Hey ho. Been tested since I went on meds in about 2014.
If you are over 50 you can ask for one.

Oh and if unlucky, they may come for you with a rubber glove. 
Fortunately, mine has only been digitised once, and that was by a Urology Consultant.
