My doctor gave me a rectal exam to check my prostate and said it was lumpy and felt a little hard.?


After the finger in the but to check the prostate.and he said it felt lumpy. he had a psa test done which came back good not elevated at all. Thats all he is going to do.I read about having a lumpy prostate but it always talks about cancer. Is there anything else that can make a prostate gland lumpy and some what firm besides cancer.I would like to do a ultrasound but the doc dont think i need one .Now he is just a familly practitioner not a urologist. THANKS OZ

Benign prostatic hypertrophy can make the prostate enlarged and lumpy. I think you need a second opinion, though, if for no other reason that to calm your nerves. Schedule an appointment with a proctologist.

Second opinion! Go to a specialist, even if it is not anything and your doctor is right...you willing to risk it?

Personally, I would go to a urologist and get a second opinion. It may NOT be cancer, but lets not take any chances here.
