At what age are doctors doing prostate exams nowadays?

I think it depends on if you have issues.

I had a prostate exam when I was 22. Went to the urologist because I had slight pain in my balls. I think He wantet to rule out an urinary Infektion.

Is a TRUS the best test to detect prostate cancer?---My father died from prostate cancer and my brother, 2 years older than me is currently taking radiation treatments for it now

I had a prostate exam at 47. I told my doctor at a physical I was having trouble urinating. My flow had started to weaken. He offered to check. Still having mild to moderate issues at 50 but my new doctor just checks my PSA. He's never even seen me naked. It seems like they don't even like to exam you anymore.

@Mtgriz98 If you need a second opinion, I am always available.😉

How can they just ignore your largest organ ??? Doesn't make any sense. I was referring to not even taking your shirt off any more.

DRE - digital rectal exam, that so many on Zity seem to be so fascinated with, has been replaced with PSA and MRI, if PSA elevated, quite a while ago. DRE was very unreliable due to subjective experience. What can feel big or hard or 'abnormal' to one person, may feel normal to another. As well, it allowed access to only part of prostate.

I am surprised if any serious medical professional is still doing it. Unless, they see how excited their patient gets about it and do it out of pity or other reason. But that would be unprofessional and wrong.

As for age that OP asked, in US there is no well defined standard. 50, with 55 being the latest is most common advisory, unless there is family history of prostate cancer, then 40-45.

70 years old and have never had a prostate check. Last PSA check was fine. The only thing a doctor has put up my butt was some very strong pain relief.
