I am a 13-year-old uncircumcised male and I have a tight foreskin. Is a doctor supposed to pull back a tight foreskin during a physical? It really hurt, and after, I found out it hurt to touch my penis directly (the part without skin covering). How does a doctor check a boy’s testicles? Does he check the prostate? The last time I had a physical, I had a major erection. Is this normal?

I was at the doctors last week and they said I need a lumbar puncture. I'm getting it next week. Does it hurt?

I’m scared of needles and have missed most of my vaccinations at school because I’ve been too scared to go through with them.

Will the doctor think I’m stupid for being scared?

I had a urine test and they found blood in my urine. The doctor said I may need an internal. What is this?
