@taylorlacy.md: POV: You’re waiting for the most dreaded part of the physical, but medicine has moved on! 📉🧤 While the Digital Rectal Exam (DRE) was a standard part of a routine physical for years, Evidence-Based Medicine shows that for routine prostate cancer screening in asymptomatic men, the DRE doesn’t actually improve cancer detection rates or outcomes when compared to the PSA blood test alone. Current guidelines (like those from the USPSTF and the AUA) now emphasize shared decision-making and the PSA test over the routine “finger check.” So you can put your pants back on and breathe a sigh of relief. 🙌✨ #ProstateHealth #MensHealth #EvidenceBasedMedicine #DRE #MedicalHumor PSA HealthTips Urology DoctorVisit

Ok so they came up with an alternative for men yet us women still need pelvic exams and Pap smears? Right.

Women are still getting pap and pelvic exams, though. Make it make sense.

I had a patient get mad at me and complain every visit that I didn’t do this and then refused when I said I can if he’s concerned. I finally had to dismiss him. As a female provider this made me uncomfortable especially when it was every visit

I’m a urology NP and was trained to routinely do them 😅. We still check PSA but also do the exam. I like to have one on file at least once a year. So many men want it checked but if they defer doesn’t hurt my feelings lol

My urologist still does it. He feels it’s worth it.

So my physician is just doing them to me for the love of the game or I’m actually just a victim?

Not disrespecting your recommendations or evidence based practice on this, but I had a close family friend who had normal PSA’s and when he had his colonoscopy the surgeon did a digital exam and felt a nodule and he had a prostate biopsy done and he did have prostate cancer even with a negative PSA

My dad wouldn’t go to the doctor for the longest time because he didn’t want that, and i told him a few years ago we stopped. He was so happy and now goes to the doctor lol

Dre is no longer recommended as stand alone screening for prostate cancer, but as an urology np we still follow the aua recommendations of psa screening in conjunction with Dre. I have seen several patients with a normal psa but with an abnormal Dre that ended having prostate cancer on Bx.
