Physical Exam Question For Men With Foreskin

My pediatrician would retract mine for me from the earliest exam I could remember five years old for my back to school exam until I was 15 years old. Then I changed doctors and that doctor retracted it as well. At 17 i changed doctors again and this doctor asked me to retract it at my exams.

Whenever I have had a complete genital exam (getting less frequent) the doctor is the one who has always retracted the foreskin.

In my exams at school, I can remember being asked to retract it myself once, but most times the doc would say something like "as you're uncircumcised, I'm going to roll your foreskin down to have a peek underneath".

I had my foreskin retracted during all school exams, every development follow-up exam and also during military services exams.

If you think back about it, you start wondering why a foreskin is something that important that is has to be pulled back at least as far as it can go.

I don't see it as medically that important as in a lot of cases it is cut away without hesitation, but when you have it, it seems they want to see what's hiding

underneath. Strange :-D

I had a lot of urologists cause of pelvic pain, most of them were female, my current doc is also female, very young after getting her doctor title. she or they all always pulled the foreskin back by theirselves. nobody asked me to do it by myself. but to put it back, i always had to do it.
