Yes, when you get around age 40 you should start getting regular prostate exams -- the prostate gland can enlarge and cause problems, and prostate cancer is pretty common. Both of these problems can be easily treated if you catch them early by getting an exam.
The prostate gets larger if you have cancer for instance and this is the easy and quick way to feel if that has happened. Prostate cancer is very aggressive and men should be checked 1-2 a year when reaching 50 but also before that. Make it a yearly habit just like women go see the gyno. Catching it early can save your life.
