Urology next week!! 😟

[Harris091]

Hi everyone 👋

I have a urology appointment next week and I was wondering what will happen at that appointment?. First time going to a urologist. The reason I’ve been referred to one is because I have phimosis. Could anyone break down what will happen cause I’m nervous.

Thank you

The urologist will exam your penis and attempt to retract your foreskin.

Were you referred by another doctor to see the urologist? I was given a script for "Circumcision".

[Harris091 in reply to uncutforesk]

Yes I was referred by a doctor.

They’ll examine and diagnose the problem and advise or recommend a course of treatment to which you’ll have to decide whether you want to go with that recommendation, seek other opinions or do nothing.

Oh okay, I’m so nervous lol, thank you.

[Hidden in reply to Harris091]

You'll be fine, they're not going to pin you down or anything and your condition's so common no one will judge you

[Harris091 in reply to Hidden]

thanks a lot for your advise, appreciate it.

They’ll just take a look, it’s nothing to worry about. It’ll be like 5 minutes if that. Then you’ll get a pretty-op letter in the mail during which they check your blood pressure and ask you questions. And then wait for a call or letter for the surgery date. I was very nervous at each appointment but it always turned out to be worry for nothing!
