Prostate exam at early age?

I didn't get a prostate exam until later in life. Some guys here have said that they got one (or more) at an early age. Can you tell us how old you were, what the circumstance was, who else was in the room, and what position did they put you in. After or during this did they milk your penis to produce fluid? I stand and bend over the table he only puts his / her finger in for about 2 seconds, I'm not sure that they can learn anything from that. No doctor as ever milked my penis but I would like to experience that. . I would really like to do one on all 4's on the table. one time and male doctor stayed in for 10 seconds or so and I dribbled a few drops onto the floor.

I had my first prostate exam when I was 35. It was during my physical and I asked my doctor if he would do a prostate exam because I have a family history of prostate cancer. He said that he normally does not start doing them until age 40, but he complied. I didn't quite know what to expect but I was kind of surprised how stimulating it was having his finger in my rectum pressing on my prostate. I ended up with a rock hard erection during the exam. At 55, I now get yearly prostate exams as part of my physical. I still get the same reaction during the exam.

I was twenty eight when I got my first one done. I was having some pain in my lower abdomen and groin area and went to the clinic to get it checked out. After the nurse was done with my vitals and left another female wearing scrubs came in and said she was going to be the one examining me. She explained that she was a nurse practitioner and then told she was going to give me a complete physical. Then she explained everything in detail, telling me what she was going to check and how she was going to do it. I remember feeling very nervous and anxious when she started explaining to me what she was going to do and how she was going to do it.

I started getting prostate exams early, as I have family members who had prostate cancer. However, when I do the real prostate exam, I always get tense, nervous about not going through the embarrassment of having a hard penis.

To Ccc : So tell us about it. You said she told you that she was going to give you a completely exam. How and when did you undress. Were you in underwear only or gown. Did she do a genital exam? What position were you in for the prostate exam. How long was she in there. Did she push very hard... and did you dribble.... or get an erection.??

I had my first prostate exam at the age of 47. I had always been told that the annual DRE for men began at 40. And when I went for a physical right before my 40th birthday I expected that, at some point in the exam, I would have to lower my jeans and boxers and bend over the exam table so that my PCP could insert her gloved and lubricated finger into my rectum. But it never happened. I went home and did a Google search to see why what I had been told by an earlier PCP would happen when I turned 40 didn't happen. And from reading I learned that prostate exams were no longer standard. I only started going to a urologist (my PCP doesn't look at my genitals at all) after learning I had a genetic predisposition to prostate cancer. The first two times I went to my urologist she performed a DRE on me. But when I showed up this time, having just taken a test that revealed my PSA was perfectly fine, she talked to me a bit and just said, I'll see you next year.

I've had annual rectal exams every year since I was 18.

Only 1 dr milked my prostate. He never touched my penis. The nurse held my penis in a cup while he pressed really hard on my prostate almost to yhe point of bring painful for 3-4 min. There was no spurt, ie was just a continuous drooling after a couple min of pressure. It started out clear, then turned white until ot stopped. It looked like it was the normal amount of semen I was surprised at the amount of clear that came out in the beginning. The nurse switched to a new cup when it turned white. This prostate massage was not yhe most pleasant thing.

I was 22, and went to my dad's doc for a graduate school admissions.

I started out briefs only, then at the end, was told to stand, drop.

After the hernia check, I heard, ok, grab your knees

That was the first I knew of the additional step. Very quick, very smooth.

Hey, thank you for your story... I'm actually writing a boy exam story and your experience is really helpful!

First DRE for me was when I was 20/21 at university. I had been having some pain in what felt like the base of my bladder after urinating. I was referred to a urologist, who just had me lower my pants while he palpated extensively and did a detailed genital exam. This was with me laying on the exam table, only he was in the room. After that, he had me roll to my side and bring my knees up and he did a fairly quick prostate exam, which he said felt normal. I produced a urine sample before the exam, which showed trace blood, so we moved right to a cystoscopy.

I did in my teens as part of a particularly detailed physical I had.

I had a prostate/rectal exam at age 14. I was being released from the foster care system into my adoption home and as such the state required I undertake a lengthy and exhaustive physical exam which included lab tests (blood and urine), a chest X Ray, a Pulmonary Function Test and an ECG. I am asthmatic and I participated in HS athletics (Cross Country, Diving and LaCrosse) so all those additional tests were medically necessary due to risk factors.

Unfortunately the state form also required a rectal examination so there was no way around it. My doctor was quite diplomatic about the situation and stated she would do it quickly and efficiently but I got a gloved finger, a speculum and a swab which almost caused an ejaculation. There was some precum but It couldn't be helped because at 14 most boys (myself included) are walking hormone factories.

I also had one few months ago prior to an emergency appendectomy (I am now in my mid twenties). It was quite painful. I hope I can dodge that bullet until I reach my 40's.

Had my first prostate exam at the age of 32 during a routine physical exam. At the end of the exam, m doctor announces she would like to be a bit more thorough and check my prostate since i had a family history of cancer. She then gloved up and proceeded to pick up the lube. Was instructed to undress my lower garments and lay on the examination table on my left side. The exam was pretty quick but i was not expecting it all.

Happened to me at 32, I was at a follow up appointment for blood pressure and when my doc asked me if I had any questions I told him about some issues I had been having when I delayed peeing. He listened to my symptoms and said it sounded like my prostate, he asked if anyone in my family had prostate problems to which I replied no one. He almost apologized as he said well we should probably take a look. I said okay and we went back into the exam room. He said we’ll do a quick rectal exam and then we will know. I was anxious and excited as this was the first time for me and I had thought about getting one many times before. He had me strip and put on a gown as he checked another patient. He came back and washed his hands and gloved up. I saw him holding the packet of surgi-lube and could feel my anxiety grow knowing full well it was going to be used on me in just moments. He had me stand and then to my surprise checked my testicles and did a hernia exam before telling me to turn around and elbows on the table. I got into position and he opened the gown exposing my backside I felt very open as he first spread my checks and lightly touched and examined the outer area. I felt my checks close momentarily as he applied the lube to his finger, I soon felt his left hand spreading my checks and then an almost warm wet slimy sensation greeted my backside. He held it on my anus for a few seconds before announcing “Lots of pressure” and pushing his finger inside. I felt a fullness but nothing else really, I was almost in a state of shock and nothing really registered. He stated my prostate felt normal and the I could feel a slight discomfort as he rotated his finger to sweep the walls of my rectum. He presses my prostate again and asked if I felt any pain, I could feel a surge almost like electricity to the head of my penis and said no pain, it just feels weird. Satisfied he slid his finger out and pullled my gown down and stripped his gloves. He washed his hand and made some small talk as I collected myself. He placed a box of Kleenex on the table for me to clean myself and laughed a little when I said that it wasn’t so bad. Ended up getting a script for something to help relax the prostate.

My first recital exam was at age 27 for a suspected hemorrhoid. I don't recall if my prostate was examined at that time. At age 30 during an annual physical exam my prostate was examined.

I am not sure what an early age is with respect to routine recommended screenings. I had my first “rectal” exam at age 21 as part of a work related physical. The paper work had all the major points for the examining physician to make their “required” comments to include details on genitourinary findings, etc. I recall she told my prostate was fine while I was still bent over the table and her finger still in my rectum. Upon completion, she did an occult blood test on a sample she swiped from her gloved finger on a test strip. That test was also negative.

I had my prostate examined for the first time at the age of 18 during a military medical examination. I didn't expect this test. After examining the testicles and penis, I had to assume the knee-chest position. In this position, the female doctor performed a rectal examination. It wasn't painful, but it felt weird. My penis, which was shrunken with shame, swelled slightly (it was not an erection). After that, I didn't have a rectal examination for many years.

My first actual prostate exam occurred in my mid 30's in relation to a vasectomy. After the appropriate healing time, the urologist had me in a knee chest position and massaged my prostate to produce a semen sample. I had thought I'd have to masturbate to produce a sample. The fluid was captured on a glass slide and viewed under a microscope. I was pronounced free of sperm.

I had experienced quite a few rectal exams (DRE) from the time I was a youngster. While not exactly a prostate check, the pediatrician checked me to determine if I was withholding stool. I must have been because he often told my mom "just give that kid an enema". Eventually, mom and grandma just gave me enemas without invloving the doctor because they didn't like getting scolded for my constipation.

In time, I gave myself enemas because I didn't like getting them from mom and grandma. They were alot more fun that way!

I had frequent constipation as a child, but fortunately for me, I did not undergo rectal examination. I was administered suppositories and then I only felt my mother's finger in my anus.

At the end of my senior year of high school my father took me to his doctor for my pre-college physical exam. Up until this point my mother always took me to a pediatrician. Dad's doctor was a former Army doctor and was very thorough and after examining my genitals he told me to turn around, bend over, and grab my ankles and he slid his gloved and lubed finger up inside of me. It was quite a surprise. Since my birthday is in the summer I was just shy of being 18 years old when I had my first prostate exam.

It was my first very complete physical for attending my freshman year in college. I saw my family doctor and got a very thorough exam and vaccinations along with my first rectal/DRE exam. Thereafter, I had them at the school clinic from time to time.

The first time I had a rectal exam was when I was 21, must have been already 22, during the exams for military services, now about 36yrs ago...

For me it was unexpected and done by a female doctor.

I did have later one more rectal when I was 35 during a 'life insurance' exam and didn't get one anymore since that moment.

I had my first at 26. New doctor, first physical - He sprung it on my at the end of the exam.

I was 23 or 24 years old and had a very thorough physical exam at a doctor's office that was a bit of a throwback, even though the doc himself wasn't all that old. No modesty for that appointment. What I remember best about the prostate exam was that the doc, once he inserted his finger in my rectum, said "I'm going to loosen things up a bit", and he proceeded to really wiggle his finger around. It was quite stimulating. I wrote an account of that appointment on Zity:

Early 20’s acute renal failure enlarged prostate bladder issues caused me to not urinate for 4 1/2 days , nurses asked me about it because they never came to give meds or do vitals and “caught” me using the bathroom , they called an emergency urology consult and yes indeed Mr.prostate was swollen real big obstructing my urethra . Been with that same urologist the entire time , I have a large trail of idiot doctors I have fired in most specialties not urology this guy has been with me since the beginning of my “medical mystery tour” , never had a reason or need to go elsewhere . He started me on tamulosin when it was still brand name only called flomax .
