A member asked:
What is average age for prostate exam? just had physical with new doctor. she said 50 years old. i'm 43, my old doctor was doing them even in my 30s

Prostate Exam: That is bizarre and unusual and inappropriate. A male under 50 does not need a prostate exam without a specific medical reason for such an exam. Your new doctor is right.
