The age at which an individual should start getting regular prostate exams can vary depending on their risk factors and medical history. However, it is generally recommended that men discuss the possibility of starting prostate cancer screening with their healthcare provider at around age 50 for those at average risk. Men at higher risk, such as those with a family history of prostate cancer or African American men, may need to start screening earlier, typically around age 45. Ultimately, the decision should be based on individual risk factors and discussions with a healthcare provider.
