I'm at the stage where I probably should have it investigated.

The current prostate blood test is notoriously unreliable but this article http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/69099.php looks promising!

Also explains why the current test is not good enough to rely on.

Do it.

Did you and the doctor have tea and chocolate fingers afterwards then?

The other option, if you don't like the finger up to arse, is the camera up ya pisser.

Under a general of course. But man, it hurts to piss for a week and the blood is a little off-putting.

So I'm told

One also understands that the removal of a urinary catheter without having its wee balloon deflated first can make one's eyes water. Slightly.

Just be wary that when the Dr has his 'finger' up your arse you don't suddenly find both his hands on your shoulders.

Did anyone else note the amzing irony that Family Guy had a story on Peter getting a prostate exam and feeling "violated and raped" then going on to find what a life saving proceedure it was earlier this evening

It is a fact, in New Zealand. that more men are diagnosed with prostrate cancer than women diagnosed with breast cancer.

Yet it is still talked about in hushed whispers.

As Mom said get your arse down to the doctors, have the examination.

Who knows you may like it and it may open a whole new world of experiences for you.
