Prostate Cancer

I hit 40 this year. I saw my doc yesterday with just a normal visit (diabetes) but the doc never mentions things like this.

We're men here so lay it on the line.... lol

Exactly how is the digital test performed? If anything I will know what to look forward to and want have any surprises.

After the prostate is removed does your "man hood" go with it? No more nuky?? The reason I ask is my friend had his removed and he was a pitiful thing after that. I didn't want to ask exactly what they did because he wasn't taking so well.
