When does need to do a prostrate exam?

Whenever prostate is the source of symptoms. If a man gets UTI, prostate enlargement is a common cause. For screening of prostate cancer, it may be around age 50 or five years early than the first degree relative with prostate cancer. It is only done if a person wants it as diagnosis is made by biopsy after PSA is high. Persons with ca prostate usually not die due to it. Speak to your doctor.

It is needed as part of a physical for men with symptoms and to screen for prostate cancer.

Agree with Dr. Rastogi. A man needs prostate examination if he has urinary symptoms or a part of regular check up at age 50 or older. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs.
