can a doctor tell what’s the condition of your prostate by checking your blood work?
last time i went to see my doctor she told me that my prostate is healthy ,that surprised me because i thought the only way a doctor can find out is if the doctor check your testicles manually.thanks in advance
Actually, your doc probably ordered a blood test called a PSA. prostate specific antigen It’s a good indicator of your prostate health. Also, she doesn’t check your prostate condition by feeling your testicles. It is done by inserting a digit (finger) into your anus and feeling the area towards the front where the prostate is located. It is felt for firmness, uniformity and size.
