"The test commonly used to screen men for prostate cancer may be more likely to miss tumors in obese men, a new study suggests...Of the men in his team's study, 73 percent were overweight or obese. Compared with their normal-weight counterparts, overweight men had 5 percent lower PSA value, on average. For mildly obese men the difference was 14 percent, and in moderately and severely obese men, the values were 29 percent lower."
And because your asses are so fat, the examining finger likely cannot reach the gland for examining.
