A prostate exam is a screening method to detect early prostate cancer signs. It typically includes a PSA (prostate-specific antigen) blood test and a digital rectal exam (DRE).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-font-msi-sp-font-family\"><strong>Common Prostrate Conditions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The three most common culprits concerning prostate health are inflammation (prostatitis), an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH) and prostate cancer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-font-msi-sp-font-family\"><strong>Why Prostate Health Matters<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The prostate plays a vital role in male reproductive health.
