Can Male Doctors check thier own prostate?

Seems it may be a bit awkward ... don't know, just asking.

First, prostate is a body position, prostate is a body part.

The answer is no, most people just can't bend that way.

I have tried countless times to reach my own prostate. I think I can get close but I can't make direct contact. Now fingers up the ass whether their mine or someone else's feel good but I am coming up a bit short. That is why I have a prostate vibrator (Rude Boy) which seems to get the job done.

I just had my annual physical and I ask my doctor if it was possible to perform a self prostate exam and she said no which kind of fits with my experience of trying to do it. Now some guys may be able to do it but I think it is hard to do based on my own experience.

The other thing to remember is that a doctor who treats himself has a fool for a patient.

Men can definitely reach their own prostate if they are not overly fat or in terrible shape.

The question is can they do an effective clinical examination of it. Probably not.

I don't think that anyone can reach his own prostate. Slight anal penetration not the prostate. As Jds says those who could have a fool for a patient.

On a good day, if I don't eat too much, I can reach my prostate - just - with my thumb. No way I can examine it effectively.

I used to be able to reach mine. Not so easy any more...

Reminds me of sheldon cooper 😁

"Butter up"

Cookie- Nice video. love the series.

I can reach my prostate (barely), but the contortions required to do it override any chance of deriving pleasure from it.

I can reach my own in a certain position (lying face down with my wrist in a certain position) and even rub it pretty well, but I don't think I'd be able to actually examine it. Although if someone has really long fingers and could find the right position, they might be able to.

OK, just for shits and giggles.

A very flexible doctor with unusually long fingers is stuck on a desert island and needs to check his own prostate. If he could reach the entire posterior aspect of the gland, the stresses on his wrist and fingers would interfere with the fine palpation needed to feel for small lumps and irregularities.

No, he can't examine it, just possibly touch it.

Finally, for prostate awareness dating from 2015, you need someone else to check it, you can't do it yourself. My first play doctor in NYC was a standardized patient who taught the various male exams to medical students. Most standardized patients, for the record, role play a medical condition which does not include this, the patient remaining in a gown, and underwear.

Out of curiosity, why would anyone want to do it knowing that their doctor is likely to do a better job?

I was able to successfully reach my prostate with finger in most positions but only some parts of it, definitely not all surfaces, so doubt very much that anyone can do self prostate exam fully. But still felt 😁

@madebare because it's there? Because boys, and men, might not be comfortable with someone else there? Because they want to spend time, having perhaps heard about the seconds in, and out of doctors? Having done thousands of prostrate massages, the trick is relaxing the muscles, but how many have posted about fat fingers, jabbing, haste? When you can connect all the sensations, control the exploration, it should be positive.

I might be mistaken, but I believe the question is not whether a man can reach his own prostate, but rather whether a male doctor is able to assess its size, rigidity, symmetry, shape, etc., as well as the condition of the rectal wall. I suppose it is possible, but only to a limited extent, and it is probably a good idea to ask someone else to do it. Similarly, a surgeon might perform an appendectomy on himself, but I would also consider it a good idea to have someone else do it for you.

Other than checking his own PSA, I don't think a self digital prostate exam would be useful, or practical.

E.T. could probably do it. 😃
