At your age there is no need for any of the tests you mention to be done routinely

1- The risk of having a testicular cancer decrease with age.

It won't however harm to do a self examination of the testis every month or so.

2- Digital rectal examination should be initiated at age 50 for a regular person without additional risk factors.

It must be performed on a yearly basis by a urologist as a screening test for prostate cancer.
