Prostate exam

My last prostate check was one of my most embarrassing moments in an exam. This time the doc's finger was in there longer and ended with a surprisingly hard press on my prostate. Almost gasped because I wasn't expecting it, but didn't. When it happened I felt an unmistakable leaking sensation in and out of my urethra. I was afraid to check if I actually did leak so when I looked instead I was shocked to see I was pretty much past the semi stage and about three fourths erect! Pants and boxers at my ankles, I was glad my shirt helped cover it, but wished the shirt was a little longer. True story.

I wish my doctor would do that. I'd like to see if that thing would even try to work again. She'd probably send me to a shrink for asking or make me pick another doctor. Sure wish we could go back to the old days when I actually had my own doctor. I had an appointment a week ago but when I got to the office of the conglomerate of doctors they tried to send me to a different doctor because she wasn't in, said they called on Friday to tell me she had to cancel and left a message but I had no voicemail and no record of a call from their number. I told them NO, I chose her as my doctor why would I want to see someone else? This isn't the army!

I have had numerous prostate exams ... I am 58 years old. Always ... 1 finger inserted! Most of the time, I am completely naked as I am asked to bend over the exam table. On several occasions, I have been asked to roll over into my left side and pull my right leg up. Ninety five percent of the time my penis and testicles have been examined before my prostate exam. However, I have had a couple of doctors exam my genitals after the prostate check. This (AFTER) is a little embarrassing because of the likelihood of my penis to be displayed enlarged and/or dripping precum. Either way works for me! My next physical exam is scheduled for October 1 ... counting the days!!! 😉

Precum after a prostate exam is not a problem, the pressure from the finger could produce it. More embarassing is precum before any genital examination.

this is so hot! Is this the usual doctor you go to, or is it a new doctor? If it's the usual, I'm curious what made him add the additional hard press at the end.

If the doctor presses hard enough on the prostate, you are likely to have some fluid at the tip of your penis when it is over. This is not pre-cum since pre-cum is not produced by the prostate. The fluid is prostatic fluid because pressing hard enough on the prostate makes some of it flow down to the tip of the penis. Some doctors press hard on the prostate during a physical exam but in my experience most regular docs don't press that hard. I have been to a urologist a few times and he always presses hard enough to push some prostatic fluid out because he puts it on a glass slide and then looks at it under a microscope. He is looking for bacteria in the prostatic fluid.

I am not much of a pre-cummer at all and I did not feel aroused... though ending up with an obvious partial erection and not having ejaculated for several days prior didn't help my situation. I quickly grabbed a tissue with a very sheepish expression.

This was the second time and the first one with this doctor surprised me for a different reason. His finger poked in and out so fast I was a little sore the rest of the day.

I had to bend over table (long side). Chest full down on crossed arms. Although had to spread my legs.

One finger.

Duration: 30 seconds.

Had my annual prostate exam two weeks ago. Took just seconds. But the digital exam is just one part of the exam you need...don't forget to get your PSA checked too. It's a simple blood test but can detect changes in your PSA level from year to year. A small price to pay to catch a cancer which is easily treatable if caught early.

Digital Prostate Exams are not given as much anymore - unless there is some other indication to warrant it (recent change in urination frequency, PSA rise, bleeding etc. .....). They aren't all that reliable.

There are some great arousing stories in this thread. It sounds like the exam is not a whole lot of use. I am really into using curved Dittel sounds for massaging my prostate and stretching the canal through it (I can't pee a very strong stream when it shrinks down). I understand that more frequent orgasms and prostate Massage help with the hypertrophy, so I am doing that. Alone.

For me it’s always been one finger only but the position can be different. I’ve either been bent over the table with my legs spread or lying on my side with both legs pulled up. A foreign female doctor once had me go up on all fours after lying down on my back for the genital exam and put her finger in. This position gave me an erection.

I’ve found that women have thinner fingers.

Had it done three times. Once on my side with one finger. One standing up leaning over exam table with two fingers. The other one done by a nurse practitioner, standing up with one finger. Two fingers felt like I was going to poop, that was kinda rough

He has me lean over hands on knees. I never asked but it felt like one finger to me and pushed in to the hilt. I never like the exam and he wants me to remind him to do it. Fat chance!

Yeah, that's one of a couple things I probably should bring up with my doctor based on family history. It's very easy to let it slip by when the time comes up.

I'm one of the ones where butt stuff is fun at home with my wife but not quite as appealing in the professional setting.

I had my first in my mid-twenties, and I've had close to a dozen prostate exams in my life (more, counting non-prostate rectal exams for constipation and other bowel problems since my college days). The first couple of times, you'll feel violated afterwards, no matter how you try to rationalize it. I found that generally speaking, family physicians (general practitioners) or RN's tend to be quite gentle and sensitive to patient comfort and modesty, especially female medical personnel. They will explain things step by step and ask before proceeding to the insertion part.

Urologists and urgent care physicians can be quite rough. I've had hemorrhoids since my late 20s, and if they're too fast or don't use enough lube, I'll have some bleeding during my next BM. If you have hemorrhoids, you should let them know and request that they use plenty of lube.

I had more than one urologist plow his finger up my pooper to the hilt, with no warning or worse, while they were trying to distract me. They'll sometimes put a hand on your shoulder (make sure it's only one ;-)), to keep you "steady" (in other words, so you don't squirm too much.) Then they waste no time kneading and digging away at the prostate and/or seminar vesicles aggressively enough to make me wince. For a EPS sample, I had a two-finger extraction before which left me quite sore the next day.

It's almost always bent over, although some will allow me to rest on my elbows while others make me lay my chest on the table, arms hugging the table and head turned to the side. Legs are always separated somewhat, with knees bent. An old proctologist once had me turn my legs big toes in and heels out (i.e., pigeon-toed) to help the sphincter muscle relax during an exam, and a family physician used to tell me the same thing. I found that to be make things a lot more comfortable. I usually true to stand that way, although none of my recent doctors have prompted me to do that.

Do everyone a favor and try to have good fiber intake and a thorough BM before the exam. I'm sure no doctor enjoys doing an exam on a patient with mud butt. I've also had the embarrassing experience of breaking wind during an exam. Doing a gentle tap water enema a hour or so before is probably a good idea (although don't over do it -- they need some fecal residue to do the guaiac test with.)

Really?? RN's and urgent care need to check your prostate?? In my dream world...

It was for (mainly) GI symptoms actually, but while the finger's in there, I guess they might as well give the prostate a feel too.

What GI symptoms would an RN shove her/his finger up your ass for?? Just curious...

Pain during bowel movements that I thought were constipation and hemorrhoid-related -- but it soon became clear that I had an inflamed prostate. This was twelve, thirteen years ago and it led to numerous visits to the urologist in the past decade. Initially, the prospect of having frequent exams "back there" was exciting, but the thought of getting dozens of needles poked into my gland and how much "prostate massage" hurts when the gland is infected put an end to those thoughts.

Ages ago, I also had a visit to the ER that involved a check for appendicitis via the rectum.

For me it’s always been one finger only but the position can be different. I’ve either been bent over the table with my legs spread or lying on my side with both legs pulled up. A foreign female doctor once had me go up on all fours after lying down on my back for the genital exam and put her finger in. This position gave me an erection.

Same for me! Usually one finger in various positions but one time I had to climb up on the table and assume this all fours position with my head down...yup spontaneous erection! Doctor was very laid back about it which was actually very calming to me. He did announce that he noticed my erection. When he was done he had me lay back down on the table (on my back with my legs dangling off the table). He picked up my penis and said "not to worry, we are here to examine this as well. Very normal."

I don't normally go for prostate exams but might have to. After ejaculating I frequently feel some burning in the area of my prostate. Some difficulty urinating & rectal/prostate itching along with itching in the uretha. I don't know if it's the early stages of an enlarged prostate or prostatitus. If it's the former I will decline DHT blockers. My understanding is that Cialis is efficacious for BPD but still not covered by MediCal.

Just had my first prostate exam. One finger (obviously) bent over resting my forearms on the exam table. I stepped over to the table and lowered my pants and remember feeling him touching me back there first, felt like him separating my butt cheeks looking for awhile. Felt to me like he was doing that forever but was probably only a couple of seconds. At that moment I remember feeling very vulnerable and exposed (because I was I guess!). I remember hearing him grab the tube of lube and I heard the click of the cap opening or closing. He said something but I didn't hear what all he said. "This might feel ...". I really wish I heard what he said. A brief moment later his finger was all the way inside me. He didn't go in slow or ease it in, it was all at once. It didn't hurt at all, not a bit what I was expecting. It felt slightly weird and a bit of a fullness feeling. Actually, it wasn't bad at all, can't say it felt good either though. Although, my doctor is a little guy about my size with small hands. I have read where some guys feel like they have to pee really bad, but I didn't have that at all. He was only in there for a couple of seconds and then I felt him pull out. When I saw him by my side walking away I stood up and slowly pulled up my pants. I kind of hesitated waiting to see if he was going to hand me any tissues to clean up with, but he didn't. I also stood talking to him for a minute afraid to sit down and squish all that lube inside my underwear and pants. After sitting talking to him for awhile and walking out later I didn't really feel the lube any. Maybe a bit but it wasn't bad either, not like some of the stories I've read on here. Relatively speaking, it was a pretty good experience!

Being 40 year old male now at my next week's exam can I expect a prostate exam (DRE)?

Hopefully, but I do not believe it is as likely as it might have been ten years ago. There seems to be less screening for prostate cancer now. If you want to encourage the doctor to do it, you could tell him that you would like to be screened for colon and prostate cancer.

I agree with exam doc, probably shouldn't expect one. I think the only reason I got one at 46 is because I said I was getting up 2-3 times a night to pee. And yes, that was truthful, not just a story to get fingered.

I think routine DRE's are becoming less common. My current internist says he's never diagnosed a prostate cancer that way and dosen't bother with it. If you request it he'd by happy to. I'm in my sixties and he does want to see PSA results.

Most recent medical articles I've seen don't recommend DRE's. They were more of a medical "tradition" before P{SA testing came about. My doc got all excited when my PSA went from 1.0 to 1.5. She referred me to a urologist and I had DRE's for years but I never found them exciting or erotic. The urologist never mentioned a change or that anything seemed abnormal. I do not get off on anything a doctor does - i separate real medicine with anything sexual.

Now, if some sexy lady out there wants to examine my prostate/ass for fun- well that is very different!

Had it done twice. One two fingers inserted standing up. One with one finger inserted laying on my side.
