Proctoscope/speculum exam at the urologist

I will be going for my annual exam at the urologist next year, by that time I will be 45 which is pretty much the age for prostate screening. I've only had the digital rectal done but would the urologist use a proctoscope/speculum on me at all? Just not sure what to expect as I'm getting older. Any info anybody can share?

Don't know why he would. Might use a cystoscope. But would have to justify it to the ins. Co.

Ok I do remember when I was having a hesitancy to urinate that my urologist did discuss a cystoscopy as an option but thankfully I didn't need one as my hesitancy to urinate has gotten better

When I started at 45 to go to a urologist for a once a year check up I was a new patient so the initial exam was done and everything was included. I was naked except for my socks. He examined my penis and testicles and then did the DRE and anus exam. I was bent over the table. He did do a speculum test to look for any internal hemmorids. It didnt hurt was just a little uncomfortable while he had it in me. If you want to ask me any questions feel free to send me an email on here.

Being 58, I should probably have a full urology exam as I've never had one before. Any recommended thorough male urologists in NYC? Feel free to respond here or privately.

@greg I don't live in NYC so no clue if there's any thorough urologists there. I live in western new York and I would say my urologist is pretty thorough

@Tingue77 Definitely good to have a pretty thorough urologist. In terms of my stuff I’d want a pretty thorough one too

@gthumith oh most definitely. Wouldn't want my urologist to half ass things down there lol
