A prostate exam, usually a digital rectal exam (DRE), is a brief procedure that involves feeling the prostate for abnormalities. It can help detect prostate cancer, but it's not the only test used.
How it's performed
You lie on your side with your knees bent
The doctor inserts a lubricated, gloved finger into your rectum
The doctor feels for any lumps, hardness, or enlargement
