I tried to palpate my prostate. I cannot really tell if I found it. I thought that finding it would be easy and that you couldn't miss it. I reached for it at the front of the body where it's also located by slightly bending the finger but I didn't find it.
How should it normally feel? Should it be like a totally smooth small ball with a smooth surface? Because I felt something like a small lump or knot in the mucous membrane which worries me. But I also cannot tell if this was the prostate or if this lump I felt was attached to it.
I never had a digital prostate exam. I've only been to a proctologist a few years ago who also sticked his finger in there but I don't think he examines the prostate. But I recently saw a urologist who also made an ultrasound of the bladder and he said that he also sees the prostate and that it looks normal does this mean everything is okay and if something was wrong then he'd also have seen it on the ultrasound? I'm not keen on getting a digital prostate exam.

Worried about the prostate

Don't sweat the DRE. It's over before you know it. The biggest problem is wiping all the lubricant off before you pull up your underwear.

What? Are you supposed to wipe your ass in his office? That's pretty sick.

The doctor will normally set out a box of tissues for you to use. He conveniently turns away to complete his paperwork.

lol, this is exactly how it went. but i only wiped off my balls and pulled up my pants as quickly as possible. do you think he thinks that i'm weird if i don't wipe the lube off my ass? i really don't care about this cause i shower afterwards anyway. in such an awkward situation all i care about is get dressed asap.

Look at it this way.. you'd be ready to put that dildo up your rear!

If you're going right home to shower, that unwiped lube is probably not a problem. But if you happened to be going back to work or school, it might appear as though you do have a problem...As far as him thinking you're weird... he probably wasn't even looking.I assume that everything was OK.

I'm a little worried cause what happens if you get a prostate exam and then you didn't have a bowel movement the night before which really cleaned out the pipes? What do you do then? Should you perform a small enema to make sure that there are no crap chunks in there? What do you do if you have to go to the urologist and know exactly that there's something in there but at the same time you can't crap yet and even coffee doesn't help?
