My doctor was looking over my chart and said oh you're 40, time for your prostate exam.
I replied "well if you want to..."
"Oh it's not that I want to; It's my job"

I had my first one a year ago
Was not prepared to have a scanner stuck up there though.. I've only previously heard of the finger method
The cool thing was that they could tell exactly the size of my prostate.
The doctor said that it was larger than a normal prostate and that something had to be done at some point. The question was not if but when.
I asked when that might be, and they said it depended on when is started causing issues 🤷

Be wary if you are offered "die große hafenrundfahrt" (grand harbour tour). Sometimes, no ships are involved.

2 tickets, bitte. No, I'm alone. I said what I said.

If you use disposable gloves you'll always be "clean"

What age should you start? I know Colonoscopies are now 45 instead of 50.

Probably 45. They don't really need to do the finger test anymore, the PSA test is just a blood test.

Oh! Didn’t know they don’t do it that way anymore.
