any worse than the analog ones were?

Symptoms of prostate cancer may include the following: urinary problems, such as not being able to urinate, having a hard time starting or stopping the flow of urine, needing to urinate often, especially at night, weak flow of urine, urine flow that starts and stops, pain or burning during urination, difficulty having an erection, blood in the urine or semen, and/or frequent pain in the lower back, hips, or upper thighs. Prostate cancer usually does not cause symptoms in the beginning stages. By the time symptoms do occur, the disease may have spread beyond the prostate.

what does a digital rectal exam feel like?

Saturday, August 8th, 2009


Just a little pressure. Kind of like pressing hard to wipe but a little deeper. It is not painful. It is not a deep long probing. They feel only about an inch or two inside of you. It only takes about 15 seconds. If you feel both of the doctors hands on your shoulders during the exam, you should ask questions.
