Question:

At what age should a male get a prostate exam?

and what exactly are they for


Answers:

A male should get a prostate exam at 50 years of age. The exam is meant to see if you have any signs of an enlarged prostate which could be a potential cause for urinary problems. If treated early Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy (BPH) can be prevented as well as prostate cancer. Seeing that prostate cancer is the number one cancer in men, you should get it checked out.
