I’m dreading this. I need to do the mail in your shit prostate test in the next couple years if not now. I’ve got hemorrhoids so I am very scared of anything going up my ass. Got any tips from what you learned?
Can’t say I enjoy these conversations but I know what it means to have to do it.
If I had to do it again, I’d recommend doing your business in a large garbage bag that you place in a bucket or bowl (so that it doesn’t spill). The larger the garbage bag the better. Saving garbage bags doesn’t matter anyway because you won’t be doing this too often. Once everything is in the bag, then you can take out the bag and get in to more easily collect your sample. I know you only need a small bit but it is very hard to try to do stuff over a toilet bowl with plastic, containers or whatever and not contaminate things in the water, your hand or anything else. I tried four or five different ways and always made a mess. Better to just do it all in a garbage bag. Then once you are done, wrap up the whole bag, seal it and throw it in the dumpster outside your house.
