A member asked:
Is there any reason other than cancer behind a hard prostate ??
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: There are variations in density and when a rectal exam is done the physician is only examining a small part of a larger organ. Since prostate cancer can be treated and resolved if identified early I would suggest a thorough investigation to rule out cancer.
