What age should you have your prostate checked?

What age should you have your prostate checked? I am a 26yr old male & just about to have my first physical exam. I feel like my prostate should be checked, but I dont want to ask If its not the thing to do at this age. I have also had an inguinal hernia removed a few years ago. I found it myself then eventually went to the Doctor as Ive never had a physical. I would rather be fully checked over, including prostate check, but want to know what is the normal age for this? Also is it a long or invasive procedure? Do you have to be fully or partly naked in a physical/prostate exam?

You should be doing regular testicular self-exams now, but a prostate exam can wait until you're 40.

Just ask your dr if he thinks you should have a prostate exam. The procedure takes less than 3 minutes and consists of the dr inserting a gloved, lubed index finger in your rectum and feeling your prostate. It is not painful at all, but you will be exposing your butt to the dr.

Victims of circumstance owe it to fate. Victims of choice owe it to themselves.

White-50

Black-40

I do not know the recommendations for other ethnicities.

I have often wondered why PSE has neither been promoted or practiced.
