How is a Prostate Exam performed?

0

At Urology Consultants our physicians perform Digital Rectal Exams (DRE) which is also known as the prostate exam. Utilizing a gloved index finger our physician will access the prostate gland through the rectum. This technique allows the physician to feel the prostate for any irregularities. The exam takes approximately 2 minutes.

If a DRE or PSA test indicates a possible problem than looks like cancer, a biopsy is normally performed to test the prostate cells for cancer.
