Hello Johnnywin and welcome to the forum. I don't know your reason to be worried but can tell you a little about having one, if it's embarrassment, don't be, the Drs and nurses are professional and friendly and will have done hundreds before. There is a little discomfort with the procedure and a little mild stinging feeling but nothing that hurts though you may pass a little blood afterwards. Or is it about the possible diagnosis, have you had a scan and the results require a biopsy to help with diagnosis and you are worried, I can understand your worry, every guy going through tests is worried and frightened it's normal, but if you have cancer, it's not going to go away and if it's caught early you may not even need treatment, just 3 monthly checks, and if treatment is needed remember 98% of guys with prostate cancer will not die of it, take care.
