    Checking your balls won’t find prostate issues. It’s for catching testicular cancer and you should have been regularly checking them since puberty. Just give em a quick feel about once a week in the shower.

    As far as prostate exams, those used to start at 40 years old but they aren’t really recommended anymore unless you have a family history of prostate cancer or other risk factors. It turns out they rarely caught anything anyways.
