How do you palpate the prostate?

In: Men's Health, Cancer, Prostate Cancer [Edit categories]

Answer:

You would only want your doctor to do that. It is called a digital rectal exam. The doctor lubricates a gloved finger and inserts it up the rectum. The doctor can then feel the prostate gland through the intestinal wall to feel for irregularities.
