[|Human|] Hello, I am a 31 year old male. I went to a urologist and he gave me a digital rectal exam. It was extremely painful. He said I had an unhappy prostate due to my reaction to the exam. He had me pee into a cup after and they are sending it off to the lab to check for bacteria. I had claymydia about four years ago and they are checking me for that. Is it possible that could be causing an infection in my prostate? Also, I have throbbing where the digital exam took place is that common for the prostate to be irritated after being checked like that? As I walk around it just throbs. Also, I am fearing that I have cancer of the prostate. I asked him that and he said it is not cancer. Can you tell by just a digital rectal exam if a patient has cancer or not?
[|AI|]  Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. Prostate cancer is the last thong to think of since it is not very common in your age and there would be some palpable mass on digital exam which would your doctor notice. It sounds more like urinary, probably prostate infection which can because not only by gonorrhea but also by many other diseases. So you need to detect the exact bacteria, and then it can be treated by antibiotics. Also, check your PSA levels. Thanks for the query. Wish you good health. Regards
