prostate examination

Male health screening

A prostate examination is a medical procedure to check the prostate gland for abnormalities, enlargement, or signs of cancer.

The most common method is a digital rectal exam, where a doctor inserts a gloved finger into the rectum to feel the prostate through the rectal wall.

Routine prostate exams are recommended for men over fifty, or earlier for those at higher risk.
