At What Age Should Men be Examined for Prostate Cancer?
Answer
Men over the age of fifty or over forty if there's a family history of prostate disease-need to have a prostate exam. It may be uncomfortable for a moment, as the doctor inserts one well-lubricated finger in the rectum (two if he wants a second opinion) to feel the size of the prostate. But that examination is the first sign of prostate trouble.
