Hi,I would start having prostate exams at about 25 years old,that way as you get older the doctor will have you on file as you aged.As far as the other exam I would not worry to much about it,however you might think on having an uper GI series done also if you dont go thru with the colon exam.It would be a good second choice.Good luck.

How old are you? If a laxative isn't helping you have bowel movements, you really should go back to your doctor. They may want to do a colonoscopy. But in the meantime, do you eat plenty of fresh fruit and veggies? Whole grains? Lots of water?
