It is do by doing a simple blood test called a PSA. The doctor will examine the prostate to see if it is enlarged. It's not extremely unpleasant.

Yup the Dr sticks his finger up your butt or you go to a proctologist that stick sumpthing up your butt till the RN sees a light in your mouth (colonostomy)

the doctor can feel if your prostate is enlarged by feeling it thru your bum or he can do blood test

The doctor will put on a glove and stick his finger up your a*s...Just be careful if you feel both hands on your shoulders and something up your butt, it could get ugly...LOL

All the finger wave is IS a thrill for the DR. Ask your self when was the last time the DR checked you?? what is the Dr going to compare it to?? stick one finger up your butt and search for a thing about the size of a small plum maybe a walnut. ??? PS;;; I had it done and I checked for myself later that's stupid You can not rely on the PSA test anymore you don't need to strip if your going to get a finger up your butt just your drawers.
