Rich, Jerome P <br/><br/>
By the way, doctor. I'm 81 and have an enlarged prostate. My urologist checks my prostate three or four times a year with a digital rectal exam and a PSA test. Recently I had blood in my urine. Do you think the digital exam could have caused the bleeding? How often does someone like me need to get a digital rectal exam and a PSA test?  [electronic resource]
