Can surgery for an enlarged prostate or prostatitis increase the risk of prostate cancer later on I'm 58 with a PSA of 18.9 and worried about this possibility

No, surgery for an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia or BPH) or prostatitis generally does not increase the risk of prostate cancer later on. However, there are other factors that can affect PSA levels and potentially lead to a diagnosis of prostate cancer after treatment for BPH or prostatitis.
