For men at the age of 40 annual medical exam starts to include in prostate test. At the age of 50 prostate cancer is prevalent to occur. Digital exam is the other term for the insertion of finger in your butoocks. This is done to examine if the prostate is enlarged. Because anatomically the prostate is near the rectum and it can be easilly reach by the Dr.'s hands. It is not painful rather you should be enjoying the process. They use great amount of jelly for easy access. :)

Along about the mid-forties, testosterone production begins to diminish and the prostate gland begins to grow, clamping down on the urethra. Gradually, over time, you notice that it is not the hard stream that it used to be when urinating and that you are getting up 4, 5, 6 times a night to go to the bathroom. This condition is known as BPH--Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia.
I love how it is described as the painless digital rectal exam--Right!
If surgery is called for, DO NOT let a urologist perform Roto rooter--a large number of men come out of the surgery impotent! Laser and microwave surgery is less traumatic.
I guess this is what is described as male menopause.

It relies upon on what international places you're concerning. In 1st international international places, both adult men an women persons face equivalent hardships. adult men may face dropping their little ones after divorce and are frequently placed down with the help of society with out society understanding they're doing it. on the different hand, women persons in 1st international international places nevertheless face themes like rape, low income, issues having little ones even as operating, no maternity go away, or perhaps discrimination contained in the place of work. in spite of the reality that, women persons do have reward that adult men do not. In third international international places or something in between, there is absolute self belief who has it worse.

usually age 40.
Yes the m.d. puts on a glove and probes with his finger. It is not an uncomfortable procedure. It should not hurt. You can feel your own prostate with your long finger.

Age 40 or 50 they start I believe. Then they can do a bloodtest also yearly. And that episode of Family Guy cracked me up!!!

About age 40 or up. And yes they do. No big deal. They're doctors you know, so they do this all the time. So no need to be embarrassed. Just grit your teeth, keep your mouth shut, and when it's over, wipe your butt off and pull up your pants. Unfortunately, there is no other way right now.

Age 40. Yup. And, a blood test called "PSA" should be done as part of your annual physical after age 40.
