you should try your best to relax.This is the best way to do so along with the only way. Think of it this way..I have seen this in my line of work and it is best to prevent,prevent,prevent.......... doing this to detect cancer and to check fr an enlarged prostate. You can have a digital exam to prevent it or not have it at all and say hello to
A weak stream of urine when stopping and starting of the stream


Difficulty starting urination


Dribbling of urine, especially after urinating


A sense of not emptying the bladder


Leaking of urine


More frequent urination and a strong and sudden desire to urinate, especially at night


As the prostate grows larger and the urethra is squeezed more tightly, the bladder might not be able to fully compensate for the problem and completely empty. Rarely, blockage from prostate enlargement may cause repeated urinary tract infections and gradually result in bladder or kidney damage. It may also cause a sudden inability to urinate (acute urinary retention)—a medical emergency
