Reply #19: Do NOT worry about the prostate exam... [View All]

[triguy46]

It is quicker than you can imagine, it is run of the mill for the doc, no embarassment necessary. Plus, NO one, NO ONE, should die because they did not have a digital rectal exam. You can see Dan Fogelberg's statement regarding that on youtube.

My urologist and I are going to have a long relationship. It started with my symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (hard to pee) and over a few months, he found that I had kidney cancer and he removed my kidney. We're still managing the BPH, but he's the man as far as I'm concerned. Find a guy you can trust, make a new friend and consider the rectal exam the same as a handshake! Good luck!
