    I replied “well if you want to…”

    I had my first one a year ago

    Was not prepared to have a scanner stuck up there though… I’ve only previously heard of the finger method

    The cool thing was that they could tell exactly the size of my prostate.

    The doctor said that it was larger than a normal prostate and that something had to be done at some point. The question was not if but when.

    I asked when that might be, and they said it depended on when is started causing issues 🤷
