Question for uncircumcised men: is it helpful to pull back the foreskin when urinating?
6 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Not necessarily: Retracting the foreskin is not needed. Good general hygiene should be sufficient with daily cleansing of the area. At that time the foreskin should be retracted and the area cleansed.

Definitely yes if: Foreskin extends beyond the urinary opening.
