    NHS probably damaged mine.
    Had kidney stones and they put a stent in. When taking it out they caught it on prostate and had to shove it back in, twist it and then pull it out.
    Blood and gel everywhere

    About 12 years ago. Stones were too big. Had to zap it but they wouldn't pass through system as too big s had to put stent in.

    Jesus mate, sounds horrific.

    Prostate cancer killed my uncle last year.
    I wish more men would get checked out when things aren't normal. Even just going for a random check up now and again to make sure everthing is ok.

    My dad is just recovering from it,more than half the bowel was removed.Doctors reckoned he had it for 2 years.They think they removed it all but he's on 6 months of chemo to kill any spores that may have spread.

    These tests are a saviour really as his wife randomly made him take one,Just because of his age really.

    Got mine zapped last year but they still put a stent in to let the bits of grit left behind pass.

    Anyone hesitant about the finger test shouldn’t worry, it’s well gelled up and in and out in a second, you don’t feel a thing. Don’t let that put you off getting tested.

    Thought the over 50’s “* kit” was for bowel cancer although they probably check more with the samples nowadays

    My Granda was diagnosed with it and beat it around 10 years ago.

    Good on you for highlighting this OP, if it helps 1 person then it's been a worthwhile post.

    * cancer.

    Not sure if this applies to the prostrate but some organs (like the lungs) have very few pain receptors so there is no transmission to the brain to say something is wrong.
    Only testing will give you a result.

    Kudos to the OP :notworthy

    Right now, if im correct ones prostate is up their * and theres a test for testing your prostate. Is it a self testing or would one get their misses to help. Does a ball gag come free or would one need to buy that separate and to seperate the men from the bhoys, does one take it dry or wet:93:

    Do you know theres a natural way of passing these stone. A mate of mine did it years ago when he was having problems and passed them all without the need for these procedures.
