"That" test

At what age are men supposed to start getting the yearly prostate exam?

I will definitely put it off as long as I can, but also don't want to go without it when I need it.

Age 45 is when it's recommended, though if ou show any symptoms or are in a high risk group you can get one, or your doctor might order one, earlier.

Well... American Cancer Society recommends every four years for 50+ but if you start sooner you'll be safer.
Here are some of the symptoms that might lead to prostate cancer
