Hello everyone
This post is a little tongue-in-cheek but I'm interested in the answers.
As an uncircumcised male I'm never sure, when having BCG or a cystoscopy, whether it's my job to peel back my foreskin or that of the practitioner.
What do other cavaliers do? And what's the opinion of roundheads and ladies?

Tbh I don't have any inclination to watch anything (so looking anywhere I can but not down there) so just let them get on with stuff, as far as I am concerned it's down to them. Same with my 6 week mitomycin I've just finished although I haven't had the joy of BGC and hope I don't have too, 6 weeks of Mitomycin was enough for me.

I also hate autocorrect and hope people can make sense out of my posts when it changes half the words I type.
I have had well over 20 flexible cystoscopies over the years done by people of various experiences. I don't look down. I focus on the screen and let them get on with things down there. Works for me. Best wishes.
Are you sick man? Why would you ever want to watch something being shoved where it has no business being shoved in to.
I did manage to look at the monitor when I had my first Flexi and saw my tumour. And that was enough for me.
