Peeling the banana

I had it done by the doctor during a physical. When a dermatologist checked my penis they asked me to do it. It was a little weird since they put on gloves, didn't touch me, but then also didn't have a sink in the room for me to wash my hands after.

Yes, I've been asked to do it myself on one or two occasions. Other times, the clinician would do it themselves after verbally telling me they would be touching me.

As far as my knowledge goes, docs always pull it back on their own....until a few years ago, I always had an erection and doctors always took it as a sign of good health.... after giving it a squeeze, they give me a pat on my butt and say there was nothing wrong with :that"..... Even with my pediatrician, as far back as I remember, as soon as she pulled the skin down, thee it was, sticking straight out...she usually had some comments with my mother, when pulling and touching all over... now I wish for it...

Can I ask what the drug was @JohnTom ? My doc recently put me on dapagliflozin. After a few days I started to get irritation under the foreskin so I quit taking it. The doc said it was caused by the extra sugar in my urine.

Good job I haven't been sexually active for over a year or I would have been worried. 😃

Drug they put me on is Canagliflozin, the leaking of excess sugar is how it works. I’ve no irritation at present but if I do again I will request coming off it.

When I got examined by pediatrician she always asked me to pull foreskin down by myself. When pediatrician urologist examined me he did it by himself and without asking

Having been circumsized, I've had exams when my penis experienced a little shyness while imitating a turtle and doctors have wanted to see the shaft. My female PCP had me move my penis around when I wanted her to check something on my penis and it wasn't ready for the occasion. Various male urologists have stretched the penis on their own during their exams through my adulthood, as well as pediatricians either male or female.

I guess it depends when the exam was basic they were already handling it, it's something I should do if I wanted to explain something.

Never asked to retract the prepuce myself. My pediatrician did that abruptly during the exam. Also nurses did that for catheterization and also I had it done by doctors during surgery and urethral procedure in urodynamics without any anticipation. It has an unavoidable sexual stimulation so I understand doctors try to do it as briefly as possible but I am pretty sure all have a sort of pleasure in doing that.

My urologist retracted my foreskin - without advising he would, it came as a total surprise.

I was always asked to do so. Never a doc did it by himself or even with an announcement.

During all my pediatrician visits the doctor peeled my foreskin back. Nowadays the urologist does it during the anual exam.

The same. Urologist pulls my foreskin back at every check-up

My pediatrician (older lady doctor) used to do it at the end of each physical. First she had me laying down in my briefs, palpated my abdomen for a bit and then pulled down my underwear to check first my scrotum and testicles and then whether she can fully retract my foreskin over my glans & inspect the glans for a bit. It was quite embarrassing considering she always had me promptly erect, but I had to hold still and not try to cover myself until she was done.

They usually do it themselves. However most of the time they will say something or give a warning before doing it.
