Will someone please explain to me exactly when the age threshold for a prostate exam was lowered to 35?

Needless to say I was quite taken by surprise at my physical this morning. And here I was thinking that the worst I'd have to endure was the ceremonial juggling of the cojones. Sheesh.

1 That's really weird, because here, they've pushed it up to 50.

2 I think 50 is for a colonoscopy. Maybe it's because my dad had prostate cancer but I always thought 40 was the age to start prostate exams. :shock:

3 Yeah but it feels like they pushed it up to your throat.

4 That's why I picked a woman doctor - smaller fingers.

6 My doctor is a woman as well. I hope she still respects me.
