Prostate Pathology Question

My girlfriend was rubbing my prostate and said she can feel a little "nub" at the tip of her finger. Is that normal? Is this hard spot the prostate or is there something wrong that I should have checked? And idea?

It depends, Pacman, on what your gf defines as 'little' just as when a male is defining his penis size as 'large'.

It is better to define the size of something like a hidden body part by comparison with a known object.

The prostate gland is usually defined as being approximately walnut sized. It should have a surface texture not unlike that of the human tongue and should not have any rough areas or prominent nodules. It should not be tender to normal light rubbing. It may feel slightly painful if rubbed vigourously or pressed hard and there may be a complimentary slight pain or sensation of wanting to pee, at the tip of the penis.

The location of the prostate gland varies a little from man to man but a normal range is from one and a half to three inches inside the rectum, on the anterior (front) wall of the rectum. If your gf places her finger inside the rectum and aims it toward your navel then the prostate gland can be felt as a swelling on what I describe as the 'root' of the penis, i'e. that part of the penis which is inside the body and turns up toward the bladder.

Enjoy the exploration and do tell your gf how it feels!

Very good reply BigK. All I would add is that if the "little" nub causes concern, go for a DRE to get it checked out.

As I am a real MD, I would check this out with a urologist. The surface of the prostate gland should be smooth.

By all means, get it checked out by a urologist.It is probably nothing, but prostate cancer is not something that you want to let go untreated. If you do have a malignancy there, it is very treatable and curable. Don't delay. Get it checked as soon as possible.

While the prostate could be defined as a small chesntut sized lump, a lump, on a lump is another matter. Get it checked.

I agree, you should get it checked by a physician, best if it were a Urologist. The surface should be smooth with no lumps or nodules. Of course your gf may have accidentally touched something else, thinking it was the Prostate. Be safe and sure.

Go ahead and set up an appointment with your MD to get it checked out, especially if you're 40 or older. My boyfriend's prostate to me feels kind of like the end of a nose. Soft, but no lumps or hard spots, which is what you really have to watch for.

We are offering a class on prostate milking at Efest West. I will post more about it as soon as I get the info up. Here is a preview of a few related classes:

Participants in the front row are advised to wear their slickers. The model MAY also demonstrate female ejaculation.

I hope that you did have this checked out. For others with an interest, perhaps unexplored, in the prostate, you might consider getting a prostate massage from one of the many practitioners out there, some of whom are linked from my old website (in my profile). I worked with male/male couples, 'straight' and 'gay' men, many of whom may have shyed away from their asses, their prostates, for various reasons. Keep in mind that correctly done prostate work is completely safe, an orgasm from completely safe sex.

Get it checked out. I do not mind the prostate exam as much as the genital exam.

A good rule of thumb "If in Doubt get it checked out" I am sure any Doctor would rather tell you that everything is perfectly normal, rather than say "if only you had come sooner" Always better being safe than sorry

Excuse me but get your ass to a Doctor now! Probably nothing to worry about but unless checked you wont know and if there is anything going on, catch it early. This is nothing to play with. I watched my Mom wait a year for a lump in her breast..... guess what, now she has had a total mastectomy Don't wait, don't panic just do it!!!!

TO GIVE AN UPDATE:

I hope the recent posters realize the question to which you are responding, was asked un 2008.

People have given good advice.

However, by this time, I'm sure the problem has either been addressed or ignored.
