What to Expect at a Prostate Exam
– You will be asked to remove your pants and underwear, and to put on an examination gown.
– Usually, you will be asked to stand, with your feet apart, facing the examination table while bending forward so that your arms or elbows are resting on the table. If you’re nervous about not being able to see what’s going on, this is a good time to ask the healthcare provider to describe each step to you before it happens. If you pay attention to your breathing, this can also help you stay calm for the next few minutes.
– Your practitioner will put on a surgical glove and cover a finger with a lubricant prior to inserting the finger into your rectum in order to examine your prostate gland.
– Your healthcare provider will insert the finger at a downward angle. You may feel a little pressure, but you should not feel any pain or discomfort. If it hurts, tell the healthcare provider immediately.
– A few seconds may pass as your medical professional waits for your external sphincter muscle, which is the opening through which you defecate, to relax.
– As your healthcare provider examines your prostate, you may notice that his or her finger moves in a circular motion. This is to identify the lobes and groove of the entire prostate gland and make sure that no problems are missed. This whole step should take less than one minute.
– Your practitioner will then remove their finger.
– When the exam is done, your medical professional or an assistant will offer you some tissue or pre-moistened wipes to clean the lubricant from your body.
