In all probability no you don't have anything to worry about, your doctor mindful of your age may merely wish to rule out any serious form of problem.

However, whilst the 40 yo age bracket is typical when the greatest risk for prostate problems arise, it certainly can occur in younger men.

It Does Happen
My boss's brother-in-law who is 32 was diagnosed with prostate cancer 2 months ago. So..It does happen unfortunately.
