The penis has already been palpated during the examination of the external prepuce but must be carefully examined and palpated while extended during the collection stage of the BBSE. Problems such as warts, hair rings, lacerations, and persistent frenulum will be discovered at this point. The internal prepuce presents itself for thorough examination during erection, allowing the opportunity to observe lacerations, warts, and fibrotic areas from old injuries that may cause deviations of the penis preventing coitus. The necessity of completely extending the penis at some point of the examination cannot be overemphasized as the previously mentioned conditions will be missed if this is not done. In‐depth coverage of urogenital injuries and their diagnosis, management, and correction are covered in Chapters 15, 18, and 19.
