I went to my annual physical yesterday. Everything is normal. My doctor told me (2nd year now) that the prostate exam will only have 1/1000 chances of catching the potential cancer, whereas colonoscopy has 1/3 chances.
The rectal exam, and PSA value thru blood test might do more harm than good, because it creates false positive. He showed me in his computer my PSA values for the last 5 years which hovers around 3.0 and 3.9. He recommends not to do the exam and not to check PSA value this year. I followed his suggestion.
Your Doctors told you the same? I am 58.
