lmao. Damn that sounds terrible. These doctors have basically found a way to cure AIDS but haven't come up with something besides sticking their finger up your butthole? This is like the worst part of getting old
what do you want us to do, spend 10-50 grand on imaging or invasive procedure with increased risk of infection with money that our society nor you fukking have?
just man up and do it as part of your annual health check up when you get older than 50. prostate cancer is pretty common (as is benign prostate hypertrophy), it caucses a lot of symptomatic problems and lifestyle disturbances, and it really only takes a finger with a gallon of lube to really tell whether your prostate is enlarged, there is clearly no better way.
and no, it is almost always worse for a male patient to get it from a female physician and worse for a female patient to be surveyed by a male. that research is tried and true
yea they using fingers in twenty twelve the alternative is probably a metal tube of some sort pick your poison i guess
