A prostate exam would not be indicated if you have no symptoms suggesting prostate pathology and at your age. Health related anxiety appears likely and you should discuss it with your physician.

It is not a normal routine procedure. But if it gives you mental satisfaction or you have a very strong family history-have it done.
