A rectal exam is recommended but optional. We recommend both, but if they'll just let you do a blood test, that's better than not doing anything at all. If concern about the rectal exam is the only reason you're not getting screened, talk to your doctor about it.

Having a prostate exam might rank right up there with filing your taxes or cleaning the gutters (or maybe it even tops that list). But, it could be helpful to think in a different way about getting your prostate checked: It’s actually very similar to having a doctor check your neck for swollen lymph nodes—and it’s just as quick. Prostate screening is important to consider for one main reason. “Prostate cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers affecting men,” says Yale Medicine urologist Preston Sprenkle, MD, “and, as you age, you’re at risk simply because you’re a man.” About 1 man in 7 will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in his lifetime. Your risk is even higher if you are a military veteran and were exposed to Agent Orange, says Dr. Sprenkle, who is also the division chief for urology at the Veteran Administration Connecticut Healthcare System and an assistant professor of urology at Yale School of Medicine. Having a father, paternal uncle or brother who had the disease also increases your likelihood of developing prostate cancer. Black men are at increased risk, though researchers don’t know why. And many men don’t realize that having a family history of breast cancer may raise your risk, too, especially if you are a carrier of the BRCA 1 or 2 mutation. If you have any of these risk factors, you should be monitored more closely for prostate cancer because your chances of developing it are higher. As you probably know, having a healthy prostate is pretty important for guys since it affects both your sexual and urinary functions. Since prostate cancer treatment can negatively impact both, Dr. Sprenkle answers questions below about prostate health through the decades.
