Well, for one thing, my eyesight seems to be deteriorating.
That's why in addition to their creds you need to make sure they have small hands with short fingers.They lie when they tell you it is only going to be a little uncomfortable.
Hand size only matters if the orifice they are examining is in the rear and that is one reason why my internist is a skinny woman. If it is in the front the urologist uses a camera on the end of a hose that is larger than the orifice. You can figure out the rest.That's why in addition to their creds you need to make sure they have small hands with short fingers.
Is it for you or a child? Pm if for a kid. Have a great guy for my son
Urologists work both front and back granted but the standard male prostate exam involves bending over and the need for gentle hands. I don't want any GP, internist, family practitioner or resident doing that exam to me, urologist only.Hand size only matters if the orifice they are examining is in the rear and that is one reason why my internist is a skinny woman.

It only took the third post for this thread to go off the rails. Seems right.

Trust me, it ain't a problem until you start hitting the wall . . . . . . . . . . the side one.So you are peeing on the floor instead of hitting the bowl?
It is a simple exam that any competent doctor can do but if you feel more comfortable with a urologist go for it. I've had them done by both and neither was painful. Now the bladder exam is a whole different animal. There is only 1 way in and the entrance point is much smaller than the camera and hose. I had a bladder tumor (benign) removed in the OR but once they do anything you become a regular bladder exam customer and that sucks.Urologists work both front and back granted but the standard male prostate exam involves bending over and the need for gentle hands.

Plus, he's a 3-time winner of the Urology Cup.Peter Albertsen at UConn: (860) 679-4100.
He is a nationally recognized urologist especially in the area of prostate cancer and surgery. I believe some of his lectures are available on YouTube. He is the chief of urology at UConn and
I have had 2 procedures with him and both were successful.
Good luck!!!
I wouldn't worry about a cold floor. The door to the cage is open but the bird is dead.I had the camera procedure done. First I was called in the room by a young female assistant who prepped me. Long QTip with numb gel. Awkward. Then minutes later, another young female assistant came in and instructed me to lay down on the gurney/bed. The lights went dim, here comes the Doc. Dressed like he was working with Uranium. I was shocked that the assistant held my manhood so the Doc could do the camera work. Very uncomfortable and a lot of pressure. The worst of it, I was nervous and the floor was cold. Embarrassing.
