I can’t really afford doctors generally, but I was in another country soon after turning 40 and I decided to get a full checkup on the cheap. I was steeling myself for the prostate exam. Imagine my surprise and relief when they gave me a goddam ultrasound instead! Like they would for a pregnant lady! Cold gel on the belly and all. They gave me the exact volume of my prostate in decilitres. So yeah, that is apparently an option.

Thats pretty cool. I’ve worked for the NHS for years and never heard of that, but it makes sense.
