Diagnosis Checklist: Questions your doctor may ask (and why!)

During a consultation, your doctor will use various techniques in their assessment of Foreskin symptoms. Your doctor may ask several questions when assessing your condition. It is important to remember that your consultation is a two-way process and any extra information you can share with your doctor about your symptoms may help them with their diagnosis. Some of the questions your doctor may ask are listed below:

  • How long have you had the foreskin symptoms? - to determine if acute or chronic.
  • Are you able to retract your foreskin? - if not this suggests Phimosis which is the inability to retract the foreskin.
  • Have you been circumcised? - tumors of the penis are rarely seen in circumcised men. Paraphimosis does not occur in circumcised men.
  • Past medical history? - e.g. diabetes can increase the risk of balanitis and penile candidiasis; Reiter's disease can cause balanitis.
  • Sexual history? - may indicate risk of genital warts or syphilis.
