Most men will get BPH when getting older. You do not need a routine rectal exam for enlarged prostate unless you have urinary symptoms which are usually called LUTS - Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms. You are too young for your concern, concentrate on your healthy diet, exercise and education. Take care.
