Prostate Self-Exam

It's easy for a man to feel his own prostate gland. It's a walnut-sized organ at the base of the bladder. It can be felt with the tip of a finger inserted into the rectum. Its texture and firmness should be similar to that of the flesh between your thumb and the rest of the hand when you make a tight fist. If you feel anything that is as firm as the knuckle, then that needs to be brought to a physician's attention.

How you reach the prostate, of course, is up to you. Some men may do the exam in the shower, where soap can be used as a lubricant. This can be a little tricky, because you need to get the palm surface of your finger in contact with the prostate, although the fingernail surface can be used for a cursory examination. You may feel more comfortable if you wear a thin latex glove.


Self-Exam With Partner

Occasionally, you see hospitals welcoming husbands and boyfriends into their breast self-examination classes. The idea is that perhaps the woman is more likely to get her breast examined if her partner is doing it. The same goes here.

It's not difficult to teach your partner how to examine your prostate gland. Aesthetics aside, this is something every individual couple has to decide if they want to do.

Many men can tell when their prostate is being touched because it's very sensitive. If you're having someone else do it, you'll know immediately when they reach paydirt. If you're doing it yourself, it will also be obvious.

Most folks are surprised by how deep they have to reach. You'd have to have long fingers, indeed, to reach completely to the far end of the prostate gland, but in medicine we are content to touch as much of the surface as possible.


As with breast self-examination, you want to cover all surfaces, and you should be consistent in how you approach it. Use a sweeping motion of the finger on one side, and then switch to the other side, to make sure that you cover as much of the surface as possible.



Patient Feedback


If you're doing this on someone else, the man can tell you when you've touched the prostate. At that point, feel for the rounded shape and the borders of the prostate, which, as I've mentioned, shouldn't be much larger than a walnut. If it is larger, the man could have enlargement of the prostate gland, which should be brought to a doctor's attention.


Once you establish the outside borders, then make sure your finger touches as much of the in-between tissue as possible. The prostate gland overall is fairly firm, as I mentioned, and you are feeling for any hardness or inconsistency in texture. If any part of it feels harder, bring it to a doctor's attention. If you're not sure, or you have any other questions, mention to your physician that you are doing self-examination or partner examination, and you want to confirm the results.


Remember, this is not to be done as a substitute for a exam by a physician. Do the self-exam at the six-month interval between your annual exams.

best I could find with the maximum 30 seconds I intended to invest. Good luck to you, hope it's nothing serious.

hehe paydirt

[Ouchyfish]

One thing I will tell you is that if you think it's anything remotely serious, and it is that big of a deal to you, get a female doctor and have it checked out asap. . I have had 2 relatives die of prostate cancer because they didn't take it seriously and/or didn't want to face embarassment and/or male doctors etc. Stupid, I know, but that was the way it went.

[Metranon]

i read somewhere you don't really need to have this checked until youre 30 or so

that means i have 7 more years of denial before i ever have to experience having anything in my ass

[mojo]

[Goose_Man]

What classifies as a problem and how does one tell.... please elaborate.

[Tae-Bo]

having problems pissing and weird ass pains

[Phlegm]

having problems pissing and weird ass pains

Venereal disease and use lube next time you take it up the ass.

[Langston]

Did you mean that as "wierd ASS pains"... or "Wierdass pains? I guess both could work, actually.

As far as prostate exams go, I've never had one... I agree that it would be much better to NOT have it done by a man, though. That's adding insult to injury. It's bad enough someone's rooting around in your ass, but for it to be another dude - that's just wrong.

[Captain Insano]

I hope a horse gives DDuck his exam.... or at least a nurse with a horseface and hooves like that cam whore Kate.

[Tacks]

[Vincenti]

So Duck how is your moneymaker? Did you have fun fingering your ass?

This thread made me LOL

[leah]

might be prostatitis. seriously.

[labbats]

On one of my flight exams, the doctor gave me a prostate exam. It feels like you have to poop while he has his finger in your butt for five seconds, then the awkwardness is over and it's done. Just make sure you don't feel two hands on your back. If you do, demand he pay for dinner.
