A member asked:
Is there a way for me to check if my prostate is enlarged or infected without going to a doctor's office?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: There are no home kits or other home tests that can detect enlargement of the prostate. Blood tests and a digital rectal examination is required. At times, a prostate ultrasound may also be needed as well.
