Hello Dr. Schaaf,

I meant - regardless of the old injury - whether my doctor should have been able to feel something when palpating if there was a large carcinoma there?

Thank you very much!

Dr. med. Ive Dr. Schaaf

Yes.

If there was something bigger, he should have actually felt it. Exception: He only focused on the anal fissure and checked for hemorrhoids, but did not palpate the prostate at all. But you should have noticed whether he also palpated the prostate. Most colleagues always do that when they already do the examination with their finger.

Now everything clear?
