Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know what's going on, I've been feeling extremely uncomfortable downstairs, and I'm not getting morning erections anymore. Why do doctors check the prostate by probing the anus with their fingers?Doctor's answer:
Hello, are you putting in suppositories or liquid? If it's suppositories, start counting from the anal opening and insert about 5-7 centimeters. This is roughly the deepest point your middle finger can reach, as the patient won't fully insert their entire middle finger when administering it themselves. You'll feel it on the anterior wall of the rectum. If it's liquid, inject about 10 centimeters and then sit for a while.
