Hi everyone,

My name is Jason, I recently posted in the ED forum, but I came across this prostate forum as well and wanted to see if I could find out some information.

Within the last year or 2, I've noticed that I get a rather sharp, acute pain that seems to radiate from just below my belly-button to my anus. I'm wondering if I should seek some type of professional recommendation or get a prostate exam to allay some of my fears, and also what the recommended age is for a prostate exam.

As I mentioned, I recently posted in the ED forums, and while I know that prostate problems can affect a mans ability to maintain an erection and other problems as well, I have had erection problems since I was about 18/19 (I'm now almost 30), and as I said, I've noticed this pain only within the last couple years.

Is it possible that it's all in my head?
