Dont be mislead by that Jeff have been informed that is not strictly true and the gloved  finger is still the best way of checking.Thats from a health professional as well.

Absolutely. I had a big scare last year with a false positive reading for the PSA test, but if, as it does for many, a finger scares the crap out of you, the PSA is still a pretty reliable indicator, especially once you have had a couple and trends can be monitored. In short, it is way way way better than doing nothing
