Even if you guys are ashamed about doing the exam of the prostate or/feel humiliated to do it,it's still your health and you should take care of it before getting a cancer if it can get detect as quick as possible.Prostate like breast cancer or uterus one are not a joke.I hope it can help donate for this cause :) whatever gender you have to do this medical exam it's not for nothing

I can testify to the benefit and necessity of the DRE -- digital rectal exam. A suspicious DRE finding got me sent for a biopsy and a diagnosis of Gleason 8 prostate cancer. My PSA at the time was only 2.7. This was 8 1/2 years ago. I was treated and I am doing fine now.
