Examination of the foreskin

I was 6-7 and I had a diagnosis of phimosis. To cut a long story short, less than a year after my foreskin was gone and thus no more examinations there. Perhaps there would have been occasions during physical when such an examination would have been done on an intact male, I don't know about this.

I have a friend who owns a construction company. Part of their physical exam protocol is for an exam of the foreskin with retraction. I think its important for it to be completed. But the men need reassurance and have it done with modesty.

More of your outladish BS, I see.

Not being flippant here, but what part of construction work requires that (male) workers be able to retract their foreskin? In what way would it be important for the job? And reassurance for what?

Its not so much required. Its just apart of their wellness exam protocol. I personally dont see anything wrong with it. All men need and deserve to have a full exam.

I try to not comment on such matters and leave it to others, but occasionally, someone says something that makes it very challenging.

To answer the above point, it is not an employer's business to insist on any examination more intrusive than the job requirements indicate. The reason you are saying males 'need' or 'deserve' such examinations is actually that you enjoy the idea of it - and not that there is any medical justification.

My last examination of the foreskin was in September 2024 during urological check-up. Actually, the foreskin was not examined, only retracted. The glans and the urethral opening were examined.

When I was a child, the foreskin was always retracted during the check-up. During sports examinations, the Tanner classification was also carried out during puberty, every 6 months.

The foreskin was only thoroughly examined once by the dermatologist as part of the check-up. Otherwise, it is only retracted and the glans is the object of the examination.

I believe it was checked during my school exam in 7th grade and at my draft exam when I was 17. since my foreskin retracts very easily it’s not a big issue. When I saw my urologist last March I had my foreskin already pulled back, it often stays that way, so there was no need for him to retract it. Although I wouldn’t mind. I can’t recall for my determatologist exam. I think I had to retract it for the skin to be checked.

This is going back some time but yes I am sure at the annual check up the foreskin of the patient was retracted a little to expose the urethral meatus/ helmet.

I can't recall it was every time or maybe less frequency.

I would assume this was a standard affair.

@Sopaysophie Er… you attended male examinations?
