First examine the glans (i.e. the head) of the penis. If the patient is uncircumcised, draw back the foreskin so that you can look at the glans in its entirety. Make sure that you return the foreskin to its normal position at the end of the exam, else it can cause severe venous and arterial obstruction, leading to necrosis of the head of the penis, a condition referred to as paraphymosis. Occasionally you will be unable to retract the foreskin from the head of the penis, referred to as phymosis.
