I can't really afford doctors generally, but I was in another country soon after turning 40 and I decided to get a full checkup on the cheap. I was steeling myself for the prostate exam. Imagine my surprise and relief when they gave me a goddam ultrasound instead! Like they would for a pregnant lady! Cold gel on the belly and all. They gave me the exact volume of my prostate in decilitres. So yeah, that is apparently an option.
That's ok. Blood test first (least invasive) then move on to ultrasound. The point is there's no good reason to have someone digitally probe your anus anymore.
In the whole of 2022 I was sick and couldnt get anyone to see me. Managed to get 2 blood tests which gave me nothing. Finally got an appointment last May. Pretty much every GPs is like that now sadly.
Either he's a teen or early-twen who can't fathom how horrible cancer actually is or he's sexually insecure, fears to like buttstuff and believes that'd make him gay.

One of god's best practical jokes was putting the male g-spot in our ass. It's up to you whether you're in on the joke or not

Thats pretty cool. I've worked for the NHS for years and never heard of that, but it makes sense.

Lucky you op. I've had nurses put suppositories and enemas up the backside as well as a gastroentoligist stick a finger up there.
I'm only 27 but I've bowel disease.

I'm sorry to read that. Is it curable or part of a longer condition you have to cope with?
VaultBoyNewVegas@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y
Chronic disease so I'll have to live with it.

I want a doctor with large hands. 😏

You do an ænima before hand specifically so the doctor doesn't end up with a stinkfist.

This is a true shitpost bc this is not the standard anymore. The PSA blood test can catch prostate cancer much earlier and reliably.

The NHS will never pay for a bloodtest when you will ruin the GP's fun. 😅

According to my urologist it's not conclusive because your PSA value will also be above norm if you have a naturally large prostate.
To get a reliable diagnosis you need to measure the prostate volume by ultrasound and guess where that probe goes.

Then when they do see you, they try to get you in/ out as quickly as possible without providing any actual help.
The_Tired_Horizon@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
Definitely. Though thats been going on since the Blair years tbh.

Nah, it's not gay unless you find out it's kinda your jam. Then a new hidden achievement is unlocked.
RecluseRamble@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 8 pts · 2y
Even then: why would liking the sensation make you gay? By that logic getting a blowjob from your girl makes you gay because guys can blow too.
Pilferjinx@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y
Fair point. There's definitely a lot of assumptions thrown around this thread.
