bouche Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Today there is a little article in the paper (24HRS.CA) called "PROSTATE CANCER: THE MOST COMMON CANCER FOR MEN"It's got a great diagram that shows what the prostate looks like. They compare the 'normal' size to the equivalent of a walnut. It lists symptoms like 'Painful Ejaculation' and the 'Presence of blood in urine or sperm'. I don't think I really needed to read that to know to go straight to the doctors if ejaculation is PAINFUL.Anyway, I just found the article slighty funny in parts. Mainly this little point:Detecting any mass, irregularity, size or texture variation of the prostate is therefore easy thanks to the rectal touch performed by the physician.Since when is the rectal exam just a little touch? Shouldn't they be calling it the "rectal violation" performed by the physician? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RayRay Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 I had a patient whose doctor told him he was going to be having a digital exam of his prostate, the patient thought it was a very high tech exam.........until he got the "rectal touch".

AdamH Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 I had one while 3 female japanese residents were doing their training at the clinic. It was unnerving.I'm under 30 but my Doc said it was worth ASKING your family doctor to take a look anyway during your exam. It can happen at a younger age than what they usually quote."Looks like we're almost done here Adam""Great, thanks. But if you have a few minutes would you mind fingering my ass?"

balogna pogna Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 My doctor doesn't speak english very well so one time when I went for a basic check up she misunderstood what I had said. Basically when I realized she thought I'd asked for a prostate exam she already had her gloves on and was ready to go.I let her do it. I guess they were symetrical (at least I think that's what she said). I think I was 25 or 26 at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aromatherapy Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Back when I was selling endoscopes the operation to pare down an enlarged prostate was one I got to see done on video. They use something called a urethroscope and the entire process does not look like much fun. I don't envy guys one little bit. I'm not positive on the stats but I think that something like 30% of all men will need this operation by the time they're 70. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank God I wasn't planning on making it to 70. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
