Question for uncut guys

I am uncut. I have had several exams by several doctors and most have retracted my foreskin. I have never been asked to retract it myself nor has any doctor commented that they (both male and female practitioners) were going to do it. They simply grasp my penis and pull my foreskin back. Typically hernia check, testicular exam, palpate penis, foreskin retracted.

With regards to notation, I work part time at a volunteer clinic putting patients in rooms, taking history, B/P, pulse, and temp. I was able to locate an exam form. Under "Genitalia (male)" it asks "Penis: _____circ ____uncirc". I also found another form that showed "Circumcised ___Yes ___No".

Before being accepted by the clinic I was required to have a very thorough physical exam. While on my back on the exam table the doctor asked me to lower my pants for the genital exam. He proceeded to retract my foreskin in order to exam my glans (standard procedure). He then asked me if I had every had any problems with my foreskin, any infections, and if my foreskin gave me any problems during intercourse. I would like to have seen what he noted on my exam form with regards to my (un)circumcised status and foreskin.

For nearly all the exams I have had the doc has checked beneath my foreskin.

The school doctors would always retract my foreskin themselves, sometimes after a word of warning but not always.

As an adult I have always been asked to retract it myself at the appropriate time during exams.

In any medical book I have read, the doctor technically is suppose to ask the patient to retract his foreskin, but it sounds like this is only followed once in a while by doctors the worl over. To me it sounds like the ultimate in invasion of privacy if the doctor just goes ahead and retracts the foreskin without asking for permission or warning the patient. However, in a play exam the doctor will usually do it for ultimate humiliation and control over the patient.

My doctor always pulls my foreskin back during my annual physical. She always asks if it alright, but proceeds without much of an answer from me.

I've only had my foreskin retracted twice. The doctor just did it when I was laying down as he examined my penis

Doctor does the retracting of my prepuce.

No never, but my foreskin can go back and stay back till i pull it over again.

In virtually all of the full (real) Medicals I've had my foreskin has been retracted or I've been asked to do it. I agree with the others who've said how very humiliating this procedure is. Strangely, I find it more humiliating if I'm asked to do it.

I did it a few times in the forces when we were stood up during physicals, but normally I am checked when I am laying down and the dr retracts it.,

I suspect that you find it more humiliating to be told to retract foreskin is that the instruction further emphasizes the fact that you are uncircumcised. If the doctor just does the retraction himself it happens rather quickly without much fanfare. It would be even better if the doctor found something incorrect about the way you had retracted the foreskin and gave you further instructions. I think, typically, a patient might just pull the foreskin back until the head was exposed but not all the way back to expose the entire inner side of the foreskin. The doctor might then say "can you go ahead and pull it all the way back so I can see the inside of the foreskin?" This could add an additional layer of embarrassment to the situation.

What on earth is all this rubbish about foreskins, and who does the peeling? Me, The Doctor, a Specialist when getting treatment, Your Mother Auntie, Grandmother, a Nurse a Girl, so what? I think many of you guys on here, have a funny streak, perhaps because you haven't got one!

I am very proud of my foreskin, and ANY guy who wants TO COME AND PULL MINE BACK, IS VERY WELCOME, TO SEE WHAT IS REVEALED WHEN THEY DO! - a very LARGE HEALTHY KNOB, WHICH i AM VERY PROUD TO OWN. (aGE 84)

I always had my foreskin pulled back by the doc or nurse before 12 ,nothing happened sexually but after that i did sometimes get erections

Something like that happened to me a couple of times visiting a (female) doctor (one different each time): the first of them asked me to pull my foreskin back, and, not happy that I had not pulled it all the way down, asked me to try to release the glans completely, so that the inner side would be exposed.

The second one, on my first visit to her, asked me the same thing, but instead of telling me to pull it a bit lower, just said "please let me" and just took my penis in her hand and pulled the foreskin herself, doing what I think was the most detailed exam of my penis so far. The second time I went to her, she just took my penis as soon as she began the genital exam, and pulled the foreskin down all the way herself.

It's good to see so many guys have their foreskin retracted by their doctor. I usually ask my uncut patients if their foreskin retracts first and then begin to pull back the skin myself.

Till the age of 10 the doctor retracted my foreskin. When I was older i had to do it myself while the doc was watching

Pretty much ever exam I had before I turned 18, the doctor would retract my foreskin for me, and I don't recall being told that's what was about to happen. But once you're undressed down there, it's not a huge shock that it's going to be done. So I never was bothered that I wasn't told. And it didn't bother me that it was done for me. Since then it's been a mix. I've had some ask me to retract it, while others have retracted it during the exam.

Not for every examination the foreskin needs to be retracted. Depends what are the complaints of the patient.

In case of a full body exam (example: in case of athletes), then yes, the foreskin is retracted. I do that myself but I always inform the patient

Of course there's no reason to examine the genitals for everything. I don't expect to disrobe for the podiatrist. I don't expect to get a genital exam by the cardiologist. I do expect to have my genitals examined in my physical and by my urologist. The 10 seconds extra to examine the glans and foreskin should be part of every exam involving the male genitalia. Anything less is lazy and incomplete.

I can only remember one doctor asking me to retract my foreskin. Generally, they'll just ask if I have any problems or tightness with it, and that's that.

The doc always retracted mine.... when I was young there were no warnings as such... but as adolescents I was told before it was done.

Never has a doctor ever retracted my foreskin. When this has been necessary, I have always done it myself and also returned it back to normal after the exam. When having surgery under general anaesthetic and catheterised obviously someone has done it for me then!

My primary doctor doesn't retract mine but the urologist did it himself. When I was first seen by my primary doc he was concerned that my foreskin was too tight since when he asked me to retract it it didn't go smoothly and he said he can see discomfort on my face. He then made the referral and I made the appointment.

At the urologist, I got asked typical patient history questions, weighed, temp and bp taken, and finally asked why I was referred. After answering that question, still fully clothed at that point, I was just told to lower my pants and boxers and he will see what I was sent for and asked my permission to touch my genitalia. So I obliged, gave my permission and pulled my pants and boxers down to my thighs (which ended up around my ankles as the exam proceeded). He stared at me down there for what seemed eternity and began by doing a hernia check. After that he asked me if I do and know about monthly testicular exams. I said I do but never do them. He did one on me and taught me how to do it. He then told me to place my hands on my side and he would continue the exam. He proceeded to gently pull my foreskin back and return it in place. He did that several times. He said that everything looked normal and that there are just small skin adhesions sometimes which make it uncomfortable pulling back sometimes. He continued to palpate the entire shaft of my penis and squeeze the head to look into the openning. After that I got told I can pull my pants back up and he told me about his findings and what to do.

I felt like the exam was too detailed for what I got sent for but I guess he was a urologist specialist after all.

That hasn't happened since childhood (when I indeed have some retraction problems).

Now that I think of it, during military service I got my testicles palpated and, more generally, the doctor looked at my genitals. I don't recall however that she retracted the foreskin, but, hey, it might have been already retracted depending on how my penis was in the briefs before I pulled them down. Maybe they did not care about phimosis maybe they looked more carefully only at those that showed clear signs of it.

I had my foreskin retracted by a doctor when I was very young, I think the experience contributed to my medical fetish.

In play examinations I have had the doctor retract the foreskin and been asked by the play doc to retract it.

I see my PCC twice a year. One appointment is just a quick check up to regulate BP meds, etc, so, unless I have a specific complaint, I usually only remove my shirt and undo my trousers. The one six months later is a complete annual physical. When she does the genital? hernia check, she usually pulls back my foreskin to check for retractability and hygene.

Do providers really retract your foreskin? I never did when I did physicals. Could this be fantasy?

^^^^ You'll never know...the fantasy continues. 😁

It's the way I teach the skill.

My doctor always asks me to retract my own foreskin. My pediatrician may have retracted my foreskin when I was younger but as an adult, I have always retracted my own foreskin.
