    One of god’s best practical jokes was putting the male g-spot in our ass. It’s up to you whether you’re in on the joke or not

    I can’t really afford doctors generally, but I was in another country soon after turning 40 and I decided to get a full checkup on the cheap. I was steeling myself for the prostate exam. Imagine my surprise and relief when they gave me a goddam ultrasound instead! Like they would for a pregnant lady! Cold gel on the belly and all. They gave me the exact volume of my prostate in decilitres. So yeah, that is apparently an option.

      Thats pretty cool. I’ve worked for the NHS for years and never heard of that, but it makes sense.

    Lucky you op. I’ve had nurses put suppositories and enemas up the backside as well as a gastroentoligist stick a finger up there.

    I’m only 27 but I’ve bowel disease.

    This is a true shitpost bc this is not the standard anymore. The PSA blood test can catch prostate cancer much earlier and reliably.

      According to my urologist it’s not conclusive because your PSA value will also be above norm if you have a naturally large prostate.

      To get a reliable diagnosis you need to measure the prostate volume by ultrasound and guess where that probe goes.

        That’s ok. Blood test first (least invasive) then move on to ultrasound. The point is there’s no good reason to have someone digitally probe your anus anymore.

      I bleedin wish.

      In the whole of 2022 I was sick and couldnt get anyone to see me. Managed to get 2 blood tests which gave me nothing. Finally got an appointment last May. Pretty much every GPs is like that now sadly.
