How Old at First Prostate Exam

I had my first prostate exam when I was in my early 30's and was having my first full physical exam. It came at the end of the exam when my male doctor asked me to pull down my underwear, put my elbows on the exam table spread my legs a little and point my toes inward. The he explained what he was about to do and then did it.

I remember the tingling on the head of my penis when his inserted finger rubbed over my prostate. It really felt good.

That is what got me into anal play. Up until then I had no idea how powerful the prostate gland was.

Thanks Doc!

I was 31 years old when I had my first prostate exam. I was having difficulty urinating and experiencing some groin pain, so I went to see my GP. As part of the diagnosis, she performed a DRE. All in all, it was not that bad of an experience. She referred me to a Urologist that I got an appointment with about a week later. As part of his diagnosis, he performed a DRE as well. Let me tell you, it was extremely painful. I don't know if my prostate was really inflamed or if he stuck his finger in further than my GP, but it hurt like hell.

I have chronic prostatitis, so I am in to see my GP and/or Urologist a few times a year. I found another urologist in my area and have not experienced pain like that again.

I probably get a prostate exam three or four time a year when it flares up.

My wife and I have life insurance and are obliged to appear to annual check-up. Certainly it involves pelvic exam in my wife and DRE on me. Thus, in spite of no coplaints, my first prostate check was as early as I was 28 and is repeated at least yearly. Actually I consider it as a routine part oh physical exam. The doctor puts on nitrile gloves, palpates my scrotum and penis and has me bent over with arms resting on table, feet slightly separated, and one slightly flexed. She inspects perianal area for lesions, rashes, fissures and hemorrhoids then places her index finger at the anal opening, applies gentle pressure and slowly inserts her finger in downward angle towards umbilicus allowing a few seconds for the external and internal sphincter to relax. The doctor evaluates the tone of the sphincter muscles and rotates her finger 360° to evaluate anal sphincter muscle ring. On most times I am semi-erect but has never been a problem.

Odd how requirements differ per country. I cannot really even remember having a medical exam to get a life insurance policy, though possibly the family physician had to fill out a questionnaire.

But apart from that there has never been any requirement at all of having any kind of physical exam on a regular basis.

A bit of a shame when viewed from a med fetish pov of course ...

I was in my 20s. The rectal was a total surprise. I had never heard of one before.

Im 29 and thankfully I've yet to receive the ole slippery finger.

My first prostate exam was at 19 for a college physical many years ago. I got another one at 21, a third one in my early 30's and my last one only a few years ago.

Last year at age 22. I was having bladder problems and a consultant told me he was going to have to insert his finger into my anus to check my prostate. I had had a few play exams by this point so didn't care at all. Few weeks after that I had a cystoscopy.

Mine was only recently when I turned 40. I had a physical at 30 and since insurance covers it now I got one at 40 too. I knew it was part of the routine after 40 but it wasn't mentioned at all in the pre-visit instructions.

I usually see a female PAC and that's who I got that day. We'd done all the blood and heart (shirt still on but unbuttoned) and eyes and reflex and what not and I figured the turn and cough was all that was left.

The PAC , as I was buttoning my shirt, said rather apologetically"Flatwater I'm going to have to do a prostate check."

"OK, I kind of figured."

"We'll just do that along with the hernia check." And with that she opened drawer and pulled out a paper sheet which she put on the table.

"I'm going to step out for a bit and get the nurse, I'll need you to take off your pants and underwear. You can use the sheet to cover yourself. I'll be back in a moment."

I went ahead and got undressed and sat back on the table with my shirt on and the sheet on my lap. I thought that maybe just maybe I had a little bit of the feeling that gals get waiting on the Dr. to return for a pelvic. After about 90 seconds or so there was a knock and she came back in with a nurse in tow.

"OK if you're ready go ahead and stand up and we'll check for hernia."

I'm standing there awkwardly trying to hold the sheet open in front and it's falling down and I'm fidgeting.

"Uh, do I need to have this sheet? Do you mind if I just get rid of it."

She didn't mind so I pulled it off to my right and draped it on the table. The PAC started inspecting my scrotum. Behind her I can see the nurse has gone from setting things out on the counter to squeezing what I now know was Surgilube onto a towel.

We wrapped up the turn and cough portion.

"OK are you ready for the prostate?"

"I guess so. What do I need to do? I've never had one of these before."

I see the nurse offer the towel of goop to the PAC as she swapping gloves.

"Just lean over the table, we'll be done in just a second."

I turned to lean over but the stool/bottom draw was out and I couldn't get very close to the table. I decided to try with a foot on either side of it. My heart was racing a bit and I wasn't sure if I need to bend at the waist, lean on my elbows, my hands or what.

"Uh is this good? Do I need to.."

She intrrupted me.

"You'll feel my finger" and though I thought I wasn't in position yet I felt a hand just below my back. "and then I'll to ask you to bear down like you're having a bowel movement."

With that there was a finger pressing against my sphincter.

"Bear down now. You'll feel some pressure for just a bit."

I was still trying to figure out how to lean on the table and in she went. I was so surprised that by the time I figured out she was in she was done.

"All done, everything's fine. G'head and get dressed and I'll be right back."

When I turned the nurse was putting things away (stool sample?) and the PAC was out the door.

That was it. Quicker than I expected and done before I noticed it.

1st Air Force flight physical, the doc was 6'2" & I am talking about just his finger. I was bent over, holding onto a chair when he checked my prostate, belly button, nipples and tonsils with one insertion.

Then it was over, no kiss, no flowers, no candy and did he call the next day? NO! I felt so violated,,,,,

So the question then quickly becomes, well, at least on my mind anyway, did the doctor have one hand on your shoulder during your exam, or two? Now one hand on your shoulder and one hand inside you is acceptable and mecicallly appropriate. However if you were able to feel both hands on your sholders at all times during the examination, well then, for lack of better terms, you got screwed. And I hope that after all that you got dinner, a movie of YOUR chioce, and a large popcorn with extra butter and large drink aftwrds. LOL.

My dad died of prostate cancer when I was in my mid 40's...Normally, I'd have a physical once a year and to that point, had never had a prostate exam but now...it was very much on my mind and I started to request one each physical AND...I started doing 2 physicals a year. Yeah...the exam itself is nothing. Quick in 'n out and you're done however...for the last (maybe) 5,6,? years now, the PSA report from your blood work had totally replaced the 'finger'. Only if something show up out of the ordinary would the other check be done. Ya know...I still hear guys talk about/make jokes about...a prostate exam and I'd guess, until their doctor says it's time, they'd put it off til it wasn't their choice any more...THAT'S JUST STUPID. Be it a PSA blood test or...THE FINGER...a prostate exam 'may' save your life.

33 with a female urologist- interesting but did not have an erotic touch.

I got my first prostate exam at 19 for a college physical. It as given by a military doctor and he actually took the time to explain the procedure to me and helped me into position. The second one I got was at age 21 with a female doctor, same position as the one before. I've had two more since then, it seems the more often you get it the easier it is to go through the process.

Just had one two weeks ago at my annual

I haven't had a prostate exam, but at 26 had my first rectal exam. I had a bit of an issue down there so the doctor needed to check it. I didn't know what she was going to do. She was like "well, okay, let's drop them and lay down on the table". It was awkward because I was standing and lowered my pants and underwear, but then had to hop on the table (a bit tricky). So I was face down, pants lowered and she inspected the outside of my anus by opening my cheeks with her hands. Then she was like "okay, one second" and goes over to get some KY which is when I realized what she was going to do. She explained that I was going to feel her finger inside and proceeded to insert a finger, then moved it around a lot, maybe for a minute, then removed it. It was the first time someone felt my butt like that...very exciting.

I was about 20 and had blood in my urine so i went to the student health clinic on campus. A young male doctor did lots of tests and then said "I need to do a rectal exam." He had me stand facing the table, then bend over it with my elbows on it. He opened the gown and spread my cheeks and gently pushed his finger in my anus. It didn't take very long. I was not excited by it because he seemed so nervous (must have been an intern?). About a year later was the first time I asked my girlfriend to put her finger in my anus, which was much more exciting than having a guy do it, obviously.

To 20 years, I decided to check if everything was fine. after the ceremony and some applications up and down to see if the foreskin was fine, but I did bring a high knee to the chest for the 'examination of the prostate. Not very pleasant, because made ​​by a young man but it 's important is that everything was OK

I was btw 26 and 27.

My first was at fourty. My doc asked about prostate problems in my family and when he learned both my father and uncle had cancer by 50 he told me we needed to keep a close watch for any problems. I'm 62 and had one every year since.

It isn't my favorite thing to have done but after seeing what my Dad and Uncle went through it's worth it

I was in college (20 yo) when I first had a doctor visually examine my anus. The first time the doctor fingered inside was at 24 to make sure I didn't have hemmroids. I have not yet had a prostate exam though. I was terribly embarrassed the first time being inspected there, and at first having a finger inside seemed embarrassing, but as she moved it in circles inside it began to feel erotic.

I had mine when I was 40 the doctor had me laying on my chest he then inserted his gloved finger and felt my prostate

I was 35 I got a new doc and he did it. He was gentle, the guy that took over when he retired must use a pool cue because it always hurts.

My first prostate exam was a pre-marital exam at the age of 19. Not sure why he did it but he just said turn around and lean over the exam table while I do a quick prostate exam. He was in and out before I knew what was happening. I'm 64 now and have had one every year since turning 50.

I was in my early thirties when I had my fist prostate exam. It was in the dr office and it hurt me. I think he was using his lube sparingly. and his finger felt like it was huge and long. Have had many since and they are not as bad as the first one.

I was 26, and in my tighty whites and a paper gown when the Doctor told me to turn around and lean my elbows on the table. I had no idea about what was about to happen. He pulled down my underpants told me to spread my legs and start with " The attatck from the rear" as he called.

My first one, he doctor put on the glove and said he had the "Fickle Finger Award" for me, a comment a think was either from the show Saturday Night Live or Laugh-In.

The "Flying Fickle Finger of Fate" award was indeed a staple of Rowan & Martin's "Laugh-In"....

I'm about to be 35 and still haven't had one yet. Last year I went to a new physician and explained that I hadn't had a physical in 3 years due to a lack of insurance. She didn't even remove my shirt for auscultation...It was a decent exam, just not thorough enough. I guess I'll wait and hope for next year.

I have a physical every year and every year my prostate gets examined - It's always the same bend over the exam table - Several different doctors and none have hurt me and usually no discomfort - If anyone is hurt or experiences discomfort there is a problem and it should be taken up with the doctor or change doctors - Along with the physical exam of the prostate blood work is also done
