Pinching open urethra

Mine has always been pinched open, however never more than a look by the doctor. The benefits of being in a one woman relationship you whole life...no std checks.

Happened at ped exams, not since

In males, the reason to open the meatus a bit and look at the urethra is to observe the bit of the urethral lining for any abnormal redness, discharge, white patches, swelling, narrowing, or any other abnormal condition. If the male is uncircumcised, the exam should also look for phimosis or paraphimosis. The foreskin should be gently retracted, if possible, and the inner surface should be inspected for redness, white patches, discharge, and any moles. In females, it is not as easy to open the urethra, but you can get a pretty good idea of the same items by direct observation and also when doing a manual inspection of the vagina, a gentle upward pressure on the urethra will make any discharge readily apparent.

I have had this happen to me once or twice when i was younger. i would be laying on my back

Almost every year im subject to that...

is a part of a exam related to my sports insurance, CMAS level 3 Diver, checking for various deseases and pathologies

its a bit uncomfortable since male urethra is not a very elastic thing, but it doesn't hurt but is not nice...

sometimes lying back and sometimes siting on the hedge of the table

Had it happen at every exam I can remember.

I wish this was true for my exams. I have had the urethra spread on only a few occasions and find it enhances the embarrassment to a wonderful extent. To me, it seems like the doctor is really inspecting the penis when he does this and then when he is done and drops the penis, it seems like it has a sense of showing disdain for the patient.

I have only had my urethra examined by my urologist. I don't recall if he spread it open or pinched but he did take several seconds to look inside without any type of speculum or instrument other than his gloved hand. I did have a mistress give me a play exam one time that spread my meatus open to look look closely at my urethra. It should be noted that I specifically stated that any urethral insertion was off limits during the session. I think to heighten the tension of the scenario, she stated that I was a XXFr and urethral insertion would be very easy. I don't recall what size she said that I was? My reaction was to squeeze my legs together and shrivel up. As a result, I was tied to the stirrups for being uncooperative and the prostate exam began followed by the extraction of a semen sample. My limits were respected with respect to the urethral insertion and have continued to see this play provider on numerous occasions, each session better than the previous.

I've only had it done once or twice during employment physicals; but while working as a Standardized Patient, most or all teachers required that all exams start with pinching the urethra to check for discharge, irritation, lesions, color (medium pink/red is healthy), then do the penis/testicular/hernia/prostate exams in that order. Uncomfortable, but not painful.

Several instructors went further, the first one after a student doing a DRE asked me to cough (I was bent over the table with his finger in my butt) and I started laughing thinking he'd confused it with the hernia check. The instructor (chief of Urology at a Phoenix hospital) stepped in and said, "This is more effective" and reached under me and pinched the tip of my urethra very quickly and said "See?"

Turns out that it's a type of test, the sphincter should contract when the tip of the urethra is pinched (so he said) and the student can first see if there's a contraction (normal reflex), and then what the muscle tone is by how his/her finger is gripped by the sphincter when they pinch your urethra. Haven't had this done in real-life exams, only teaching exams so far.

I have had this done with the urologist nurse enjoyed it.

Due to an operation I had on my back I have to insert an 'intermittent' catheter at night to fully drain my bladder. As the urinary meatus is a 'slit' rather than a 'hole' I have to squeeze the meatus at top and bottom to open it so that the catheter tip can inserted. This is folowed by sliding in about 10" of tubing.

No rpoblem, No pain!

This has never happened to me. In fact, my doctors have never touched my penis, just palpating the skin next to it, and the usual hernia check with the testicles.

I seem to have missed out on physical exams, obviously live in the wrong place! My "now you're 50 exam" was very tame with a half hearted blood test, no physical exam at all.

This is a standard part of the genital exam, commonly skipped. The purpose is to observe the mucous membrane for irritation and observe for discharge.

I do remember that happening as a child. The doctor always pulled back the foreskin and pinched open the tip. I remember once when he told me and my mom ,who was also there, how imporrtant it was to pull back the skin and wash this area. I think I was around 9 or 10.

Yes when younger dr would pull my foreskin back and open my pee hole also had it done a few times latter in life

I get it done sometimes at the pediatrician. Penis is retracted and glans gently pinched so the meatus get quite dilated to be examinated. It is done fastly and never make me feel a disconfort.

My female GP always does this during my physical,usually while Im lying down right after the abdominal exam.Shes the only female doctor to ever examine my penis during a genital exam.

It has happened to me once or twice when I was younger. A school doctor squeezed gently the tip of my penis to check the urethra. It took just a few seconds. It didn't hurt as far as I remember.

I don't remember having it done to me. Doctors always seem much more interested in my foreskin for some reason.

Remember this happening at a few check ups when younger. Not had it done as an adult though!

It seems that there is no reason for pinching as an adult. 😉

When I was a kid, it was part of the exam. Never as an adult, except once I had a culture taken with a swab that went into the urethra. Ouch.

It would be done to look for purulent discharge.

The pinch isn't a hard painful one, it's just a little squeeze to look into the end of the urethra.

My urologist always examines my urethra. He doesn't pinch it open, though---he spreads the opening apart with his thumb and forefinger and usually looks inside the opening.

I wouldn't say pinched, but definitely opened and examined.

I always squeeze it open. Not pinch but squeeze where it opens up

I have never had a Dr, do this ever what would the reason for doing this be

I have had this done in both of the techniques described:

either pinching the grans from above and below or spreading the opening by spreading the glans to open the urethra.

Not sure there is any difference between the two techniques and when each has been used. I suspect each doctor has their preferred method, and I've not always had it done - particularly as an adult.

My doctor spreads apart my urethra and looks inside.
