I got the PSA results back today and all is well. I don't want to discourage anyone from getting examined. It's not that bad. I was just having a little fun with it here.
One of my friends who is Med student told me about the day in her second year when the class took turns giving each other physical exams so that they could get over any strange feelings about nudity. She said it was pretty stange to have seen her whole class naked.
Your suggestion about the female student is a good one Powerdoc. The idea just spooks me out a little.

Glad to see that your PSA are normals.
For the story of your friends, I should consider myself lucky to not have experienced the same thing.
I examined my own prostat, and nothing else. I bet that the naked experience was very strange indeed.
BTW there is always strange things during medical studies. We have a place for residents, and there was porn pic all the way. A sort of tradition if you want.
You should have choose the female student, because her finger is probabily smaller ...
my girlfriend and I are both med students right now and we have done our share of rectal exams. She is about 5'1" tall with petite hands and fingers to match. She completed an elective urology rotation recently. Her attending wouldn't let her do prostate exams after the first day because her fingers were too short to reach all the way up there!
oh wait, then I have had mine checked out before too. LOL
Just remembered, so I guess my first is at 18.
They made me lie on my side and had me bring forwards the upper leg exactly like a sleeping position. Then they used KY jelly and went in! Took like 10 seconds, felt awkward, hand up bum and all, and even more awkward since it was done by a female and one that was one of my "regulars" that I see everytime I go to the doctor's office. HAHA

So long and small.
BTW an prostat examination by a skilled urologist is much more accurate, than a prostat exam of a non urologist.
I have read an article saying that the best exam for a prostat is a combo of the rectal exam and the PSA, but that because people fear the rectal exam, and many of them will avoid this exam at any costs, that PSA only exam, will detect more problems in the population than the combo.
Yeah, I've had a similar experience. It's not every day you're in a strange room that smells funny, sort of lay on your side with your legs sort of spread apart whilst a man you don't know that well covers an appendage with latex, lubricates it up and inserts it in your body.

The rectal exam is done yearly during a normal physical. Once you get to the age of 40 you also start to get colonoscopies every 5 years unless they see polyps. I have had several and the biggest difference in colonoscopies is the picture quality. The quality is so much better and the cameras are about 1/2 the size they use to be. I have some friends that are nurses and they all have stories about people getting excited during exams. After listening to them, there is no way I would want to join that list.

You are under general anesthesia during colonoscopies, so the excitation thing means nothing.
Colonoscopies is the only exam that prevent cancer. 99 % of colon cancer are related to polyps. If you cut them before they turn into cancer you can prevent big troubles.
BTW an prostat examination by a skilled urologist is much more accurate, than a prostat exam of a non urologist.
My father in law got exams his whole life, and his doctor missed the cancer that was growing - later the urologist told him that regular doctors usually can't do the test very well.
Also, I heard that females have more tactile receptors in their fingers than men, so a female urologist would be your best bet.
An exam may be slightly uncomfortable, but nothing beats the feeling of walking out of the doctors office after being told that there is nothing wrong.
I've had a few examinations, no big deal. My last PSA was 0.48. Anything below 4.0 is OK.
I guess it is the price we pay for the ability to write our name in the snow.

And no childbirth, menstration, and social glass ceilings...
But on the other hand, we miss out on hot lesbian action.

Sure, but unfortunately there is not so many female urologists.

BTW I remember the day where I was a medical student, and when we checked ourselves the prostate.
Nowdays, the PSA is a better exam for checking cancers.
This said a skilled doctor is able to said the weight of your prostate just by this examination.
And yes physical examinations are not always great.
One of my friends who is Med student told me about the day in her second year when the class took turns giving each other physical exams so that they could get over any strange feelings about nudity. She said it was pretty stange to have seen her whole class naked.

Heh... not every day, no.

I'd forgotten how much fun AI can be sometimes.
