Finger up the butt hole is out.

Finger up the butt hole is out.
At least as far as digital rectal exams for prostate cancer screening.

Congrats or condolences, depending on your perspective.

Dammit.

Now doctors won't be able to molest patients and pretend it's a finger being stuck in there.

RE: Finger up the butt hole is out.
I'm wondering what they should use to screen, as it should certainly be screened for.

PSA, Prostate Specific Antigen.

ETA: That's not perfect. Mine had never gone over 5 when I was Dx'd.

Along with the PSA one of the best predictors is a complete history that includes age, race, medications, symptoms of BPH, and BRCA1/2 gene.

If suspected, the screening gets more complicated and techy.

Did they know about the BRCA1/2 gene in 1999?

Not to my knowledge.

Edit: BRCA identified in 1994/95, linked to prostate cancer as early as 1997, can't find any record of using it for screening until the 2000's.

That's a relief for me as my doctor has very large hands.
After a few painful examinations I was considering going elsewhere, but I'm glad I don't have to now as he is one of the best optometrists in town.
