How Old at First Prostate Exam

Probably in late teens. But my Dr. loves to stay in there long....and he has very long fingers

What exactly is the doctor feeling for during the prostate exam? Bumps or lumps or enlarged? I had one done a few years back and he was in and out quick , I didn't even know it was done. I suppose if it was on the large size , he would know by comparison of the many men before me. I would rather do my own self exam like women do with their breasts.

I think it's time for a colonoscopy as well. I know I need to do that soon after age 50. My wife had that done and it was a scary site. The doctors had all the appointments on the same day and the patients would go in one door smiling and then come out another door like walking zombies , one after another. It was like an assembly line.

I have an uncut curved downward penis and went to see the urologist to talk about surgery to get it straight. After he said he could tell my reason for inquiring was due to my girlfriend at the time saying I was too big and thick to be curved he said he would not suggest the surgery. Then he asked to check things out, checked my balls and then had me lay down and on stirrups checked my prostate. My dick got hard right away and started oozing precum. He said it was normal to be excited and he then gave me paper towels to wipe my ass and dick.

Too bad no other docs have checked my prostate that way. I was 19 at the time.

I had my first prostate exam priror to starting college. I thought I was a little young time.

I was 22 and had to have a physical for grad school. I had not seen the doctor before. He was from Africa and had a British accent. After pressing on my stomach he told me to hop down, take off my jeans and undershorts, and stand facing him. He checked me for hernia and felt my testicles. Next he said, "Back on the table, on your right side, and draw your legs up." I heard him snap a glove on his hand. He then opened a drawer in the exam table. He then got up, went to the door, and opened it, yelling down the hall. "Bring me a tube of KY." He then came back to me and spread my butt cheeks apart. The young nurse who brought me back to the exam room entered the room and handed the doctor a tube. I was naked on the table, except for my socks, with the nurse seeing my front. The doctor scolded her, telling her to make sure she puts out KY for male exams. She apologized to the doctor. She left and the doctor squeezed the gel on his gloved fingers and pushed his finger deep inside of me, twisting and turning. He did not give me anything to wipe with so for the rest of the exam I felt the goo. After the exam I had to stop by the nurse's station to get my exam form. I was red-faced as the nurse who saw me in the exam room handed me the form, smiled, and said, "sorry."

I was 29 and had been experiencing some pain in my lower stomach. I went with my wife to an urgent care clinic. I saw a doctor who with out doing much more then checking my urine for blood, sent me to a "specialist", who was in the same facility as the urgent care. So I took the referral and went upstairs to the specialist (which turned out to be a urologist). I waited with my wife in the receiving area for about 45 minutes. I was called by a nurse, and my wife and I were shown into a small exam room. I sat on the table while the nurse took my vitals, then handed me a paper gown and told me to "strip completely naked, and someone will be with you in a few minutes".

I did as I was told with a sigh, and my wife giggled as she had never been to the doctors with me, but I had seen her gyno exams before (when we had our first child).

About 15 minutes later a short, chubby woman in her 30's walked in and introduced herself as a nurse practioner. She reviewed my history and asked about the pain. She said it could be a variety of things and she wanted to do a "once over" and make sure it was nothing serious. She briefly checked my eyes, ears, and throat. Then listen to my lungs and heart. Then she had me lay down and spent a good couple of minutes feeling around my stomach, asking where the pain was.

She then walked over to the counter and put on a pair of purple exam gloves. I heard them snap on and I looked over at my wife and she smiled, and she later said I had a look of absolute fear on my face. The NP then came over and pulled the paper gown up to my belly button, exposing my penis and testicles. She began palpatating my testicles, and rolling each one in her fingers, asking about discomfort. She then starting examining my penis, checking my shaft, and making a verbal statement that I was circumsised. At this point I was almost fully erect in her hands. She then opened up the pee hole and looked inside. She then asked me to get down and stand in front of her and hold the gown up, while she performed another testicle exam, and then drove her index finger into the side of my testicles and had me cough, and then repeated the exam on the other side.

She then asked "have you ever had a rectal exam" and I said "no". I looked at my wife and she just smirked. She ordered me to turn around and bend over the table. Before I turned around I noticed her grabbing some lube. Once I had bent over I was looking my wife in the face, when without saying anything the NP shoved her finger into my butt. She was in there for what felt like forever, she even used her other hand to grab my left leg to get in deeper. I let out a groan as she pushed hard onto my prostate. Finally she pulled out and had me turn around and again checked my penis, which was still semi-hard and leaking pre cum at this point.

She told me "you have a touch of prostatitis", and "you can go a head and get dressed, I'm prescribing some antibiotics which should clear this up, but I want you to come back in, in 30 days to follow up". She then left the room to get the script, and my wife laughed out loud, and continued to giggle the whole ride home. It was quite embarrassing.

Chuck, you earned yourself a karma point for this story. I would give you 2 if I could. You poor dear you. Although to be 100 percent honest with you, your story made me laugh, quite outloud as a matter of fact, I still feel for what you went through, which, kind of makes me feel bad for getting my own personal enjoyment from you personal ummm rectal torture? Do please forgive me, but I have to ask, did you return back in 30 days as you were instructed? Come on man, throw this girl some meat, or a bone rather, lol.

Mashie

I did not return. Actually, have not had an exam since. That was a little less then 3 years ago

I was in my 20s and got my first DRE as part of a job physical. Turns out I got the "expensive" physical by accident but I was not disappointed.

I was in my 20s as well. I received DRE due to STD.

I was working, and had turned 18, so I decided to switch to my girlfriend's doctor, a female internist who my sister and she went to.

Ruthie and Laura loved the doc, and so, I went to her, and was told to stripto my shorts, which i expected. (The girls get to keep bra and panties on at the start).

She seemed much more thorough than the other doc I had been to, and she had me lie back, and did the abdominal, then excused herself. She returned in a couple of moments with her nurse, and she closed the door, and told me to 'finish stripping."

I had totally expected this part, and so, I stood, faced her, and dropped my briefs, exposing what she needed to check.

What I was mot used to was having a third party in the room, but since it was a woman and a male patient, I understood,ythen I heard her say almost done, Bobby,...

ALMOST!?

Ok,... bend over the table, feet on the black squares,... either grab the other side or elbows resting,...

relax,..

deep breaths,

then i felt the finger slide in.

and THAT was my first prostate exam.

Surprisingly I had not had a prostate exam until last week--exactly two weeks before my 58th birthday. I was in the hospital emergency room because of a fever and severe chills. I suspected I might have some kind of UTI because my urine was very cloudy and smelled really awful.

Both the doctor of nurse who examined me were male, probably late 20s or early 30s. The doctor told me he wanted to do a prostate exam, and while I was a bit surprised I was kind of looking forward to it. I had a female doctor for several years and never felt comfortable having her do any kind of intimate exam; that's the real reason I switched doctors. My current MD is a guy I have known for nearly 30 years and we are good friends, so I feel a lot more comfortable with him. But he prefers PSA tests (which I have fairly regularly) to DREs. So this would be a new experience.

I was already in the gown with the open back. I went to empty my bowels, as I felt kinda full and didn't want there to be any mess.

When the time came, the nurse told me to bend over the end of the stretcher/gurney, spread my cheeks and lay down onto my chest as far as I could. It seemed like the doctor had not done many prostate exams before, since the nurse was quietly telling him how to do it! I think the doctor was more uncomfortable with the process than I was! It was over very quickly. (Almost TOO quickly for my tastes...I love ass play and prostate stimulation.)

The doctor said my prostate was fine, no enlargement, very healthy. Exactly what I expected, since I frequently use prostate massagers on myself and never have any pain.

The big irony is that my main sexual "specialty" when I play with other men is prostate massage. For several years I have been doing this to other guys and never really knew what it was like to have a finger up my own butt. So now I was no longer a virgin. But I know, too, that I take a LOT more time with my play partners and make absolutely sure they enjoy what I do to them!

I was 29 and had an exam to start my first real job. A bit of a shock as I had to turn around and bend over for the test.

Sean, I'm curious what type of job required you to get a prostate exam. Was this a company doctor or did you go to your private one?

My story is similar. I was in my mid 20s and got a job as a fire fighter. As the job included a pension, I had to get a full exam. It was done at the local hospital and was COMPLETE. Yes, it included my first rectal exam.

I had my first prostate exam when I turned 40. I was naked during the exam, and when the time came, the doc had me lay on my back and pull my knees up to my chest, exposing my butthole. Prior to him sticking his finger up my ass, he warned me that I might feel a slight "twitch" in my penis. So he then stuck his finger into my anus, felt my prostate several times (it's OK) and then did a "360" around my rectum wall. This took about 30 seconds or so, and yes, I popped a boner. Looking back, it was the hardest erection I had ever had.

To JimmyJohnson: It was not a job requirement. I just hadn't had an exam in years and thought this was a good way to start. The exam was more thorough than I had expected! My wife also had an exam, but she refused to have a pelvic exam so it was not so thorough. Prostate was A-OK at the time. Now a bit larger at age 73. I am about to go off to see my andrologist in 15 minutes, so we'll see how things are going. She is always good and does a complete job. Wish me luck!

I hope you enjoy it. And please provide us with the details afterward.

I'm 38 and haven't had one yet. I think in a way I'm looking forward to it but not.

I had my first prostate exam at age 22. It was a pre-employment physical which was quite comprehensive. I was instructed to bend over the exam table after lowering my briefs. My elbows and forearms supported me. The older doctor felt around for several moments and seemed a bit rough. Needless to say, my anus was wet with lube and my frontal package was wet due to that involuntary condition.

I had been given many enemas by then and was self-indulging on a regular basis. Having my anus penetrated always provided some degree of stimulation. While I wasn't crazy having a male doctor rooting around, I would have never turned down a gal or nurse, especially if an enema might be forthcumming.

On another occasion, I had a vasectomy performed at age 35. A semen sample was requested after a couple of weeks to gauge the success of the procedure. I dutifully took a container with me for the visit. Upon arrival, I was escorted to the procedure room where the urologist inspected my package as well as the incision. It had healed sufficiently. He then had me in a Sim's position as he checked my prostate. He massaged it for several moments and I could feel that wonderful sensation. He produced a small glass rectangle and then squeezed my penis to capture a dab of fluid.

He told me I could clean myself and he'd return after checking the sample for sperm. Afterward, he said this was easier than checking the semen sample I brought in. He pronounced me sterile and away I went...no worse off for the experience.

Despite being in my early 40s, I've never had a real prostate exam. I have had a couple of DRE's while in hospital for various reasons, but never had any pleasure from them.

I have had a couple of play exams that included Prostate exams. These were completely different to the DRE's in hospital and much more enjoyable. Would like to have a prostate massage at some point.

My story is about a rectal exam, not pertaining to the prostate. And it is about a fellow employee of mine quite a few years back. I worked in the office of a steel mill. The salaried guys kept their cars in a garage where the cars were maintained and serviced by a young black guy. His name was Billy. I know that name sounds made up, but trust me, this story is absolutely true.

Anyway, Billy had been having stomach issues, diarrhea, nausea, etc., and our Supervisor had heard about it, and had the company doctor make an appointment for Billy with a gastroenterologist. Billy was fairly unaccustomed to seeing doctors, so he was not happy about this appointment, especially given that he had no choice.

The appointment had been made after his working hours, so that he would not have to miss any work. The day of the appointment Billy called me and told me his car would not start, and could I pick him up for work. I agreed, and on the way in to work he told me that he didn't know how he was going to be able to make his appointment after work today. I told him that if he didn't think it would take too long, I would take him to the appt., wait for him, then drive him home. I think he had mixed emotions about this, because I think he was hoping he had an excuse to cancel the appt.

Anyway, after work Billy and I got into the car and headed for the gastro's office. I could tell Billy was a little nervous because up until this point he didn't even know what a gastroenterologist was. I explained to him that this was a doctor who specialized in diseases of the digestive system, such as the stomach, etc. I'm sure Billy expected to get some pills, and soon he would be feeling better.

When we got to the clinic, Billy and I walked into the waiting room. I took a seat and Billy walked up to the receptionist desk. He signed a few forms, and in a matter of minutes, Billy was called back to an exam room. I kept hoping that the exam wouldn't take too long, because I had some things I wanted to do this afternoon.

About 45 minutes later I saw Billy come out of the exam room, followed closely by a doctor, and a female I thought was possibly a nurse. Billy looked completely traumatized. He was literally shaking when he was asked to sign a form for the doctor. After the discussion about the bill being paid by the company, Billy and I left and got into the car. At first Billy was completely silent. After about five minutes of driving, though, he suddenly started talking about how this had been the worst thing that ever happened to him. I was really surprised. I wasn't that much older than Billy, but I knew fairly well what a gastroenterogist was, and the kind of exam he usually performed. I also knew that in complaints about the stomach, a rectal exam is usually done. Unfortunately, for Billy, he had no idea that there was such a thing as a "rectal exam".

He related to me that when he entered the exam room he assumed that at most he would need to remove his shirt so the doctor could feel his belly. Instead, as soon as he entered the room, the nurse who followed him in told him to remove everything from the waist down, and then gave him a gown to put on. Billy did so, but kept his socks on because his feet were cold, mostly due to nerves.

When the doctor entered the room he instructed Billy to lie on his back on the table. As soon as he was in this position, the doctor pulled the gown up to his chest. It happened so quickly Billy jumped up and tried to pull the gown back down. The doctor and nurse had to calm him down and explained to him that they needed to expose the abdomen to examine it. Slowly Billy began to calm down, and let the doctor pull the gown up. After probing Billy's belly for what obviously seemed like an eternity to Billy, the doctor stepped back a few steps from the table and told Billy to bend his knees. As he was bending them, the doctor took Billy's legs and pushed them up toward his chest, almost touching Billy's foot to his chin. Once again, Billy was alarmed. What in the world are they doing now? He realized that in this position the doctor and nurse were looking directly at his genitals and butthole. He had never had anyone see him down there, not even his wife. Billy said he started to tell the doctor he didn't think he wanted to be examined anymore. He had things he needed to do at home, and it was very important. The doctor obviously knew what was happening. Billy was scared to death, and just wanted to get out of there. The doctor AND nurse tried to explain to him that the exam was very important, and that the company he worked for would not be happy with Billy if he sabotaged the exam.

Billy finally agreed, and the exam condinued. First the nurse held Billy's legs in position up to his chest, while the doctor palpataed and felt all around Billy's anus. Billy said he had never been more embarrassed in his life. Then, without warning the doctor inserted his finger into Billy's butt, and Billy let out a loud shout, followed by a sort of begging to be let up. Since he had never experienced a finger in his butt, all he could feel was the urge to defecate, and since Billy was already in a state of hysteria, the sensation was amplified. He kept yelling that he had to go to the bathroom, and that he couldn't hold it. Of course, the doctor knew what Billy was experiencing, and kept up with the prodding.

When the doctor finally withdrew his finger, Billy was convinced he had taken a poop on the table. Describing it to me in the car, he said he could feel turds coming out when the doctor pulled his finger out. I explained to him that that was highly unlikely. It was just the sensation of the finger coming out.

To this day Billy is convinced he took a poop on the exam table, and the mere thought of the doctor and nurse looking at his butthole while Billy was pooping makes him break into a sweat.

I was 19.,, part of a full physical

I was 17, in high school and experiencing some minor chest & abdomen pains, It was suggested I visit a doctor, doctor suggested a physical. I was in only a gown during exam, experienced a testicle exam while standing then a rectal/prostate exam...and I recall his words..."lay on your left side, bring your right knee to your chest." He was reassuring and told me to "relax." I relaxed and he obviously was visually inspecting my anus, because he then said "that's good" and inserted his finger for several seconds. It was not uncomfortable for me, not painful at all. He withdrew his gloved, lubed finger then wiped my anus with tissues. This was a great physical and my first prostate/rectal exam.

The person performing the physical seems to determine the thoroughness. I would say its more likely to have a prostate exam with say an older internal medicine doctor than a young family medicine one. Also if it's the first time seeing a doctor your exam might be more thorough. The first time I had a physical with my previous doctor he asked whether I wanted my prostate checked (I was in my early 30s) as he didn't require it until 35 or 40. My current doctor (family medicine) is more strip as necessary and I haven't had one from him (I'm still under 40).

I had annual physicals that were employer required. The doctor was a female of German descent. Other staff were younger female assistants. Prostate/DRE exams were required of all who attained the age of 40. There seemed to be a lot of banter regarding that magical age. Many of my co-workers grumbled a bunch.

For my 40th b'day, the doctor began to apologize as she prepared to subject me to this indignity. I responded by telling her that I recently had been subjected to a variety of tests and procedures that required fingers and tools being inserted into various orifices. I offered that her petite finger would likely be more comfortable, and possibly enjoyable.

This seemed to set her back a bit. I'm sure she sensed my willingness, and eagerness, to submit to her. She pulled off her gloves and put the KY back in the drawer. Boy did I miss out!

I was 50 and it was time for a prostate cancer screen.

Twenty four, I've never had one. I'm told fifty is the magic number, others say it's 40.

I was about 20. I had no idea he was going to do this to me. It was the physical for advanced ROTC summer camp. He did all usual things a doctor dose in a collage or sports physical, like palpating the testicles and checking for hernias. He then said turn around and bend over the table, the next thing I knew there was something cold and slick applied to my anus then his big finger up my ass. He did a very thorough job. Not only was the exam a surprise, so was my physiological reaction, I did not get hard but there was some twitching. He told me to clean up and get dressed, I had to wipe a bit prostatic fluid off my penis after he left the room,

My first Prostate Exam was at age 48 during my military retirement physical. My next one is next Monday. I try to schedule a yearly exam with my Urologist.
