I am 70 now. In the 50s it was common practice. We had a medical check at school to make sure that testicles were decended and foreskin wasmobile. I was one of the un-lucky ones. I was 9 yrs old and remember the whole process very well It did leave a mark on me. as I had problems later in life.
I was admitted to the children's ward of our local hospital, I was ushered into a side treatment room. my mother was beside me. I had to sit in a chair with a bowl between my legs and a nurse washed my tummy penis and balls and dried me with a green cloth. then another nurse started to do the procedure. My mum was holding my hand and all the time the nurse was talking to my mum. She pushed back my foreskin as far as it would go and put some gel onto the tip and spent a minute or so rubbing it in. I was hugely embarrassed as i had an erection. and felt that I needed to pee. The nurse explained that the foreskin would not retract because of adhesions and the doctor would need to release them
the nurse was only preparing me for the doctor. When he came in, he had a word with the nurse and my mum had to leave the room. He began to deal with my cock. It was still very erect. he pushed the skin down hard and that was the first time i felt pain, even though the nurse said the jell would stop pain. then as he held the skin down he used a probe to push down between the skin and the head. It hurt each time he probed, and blood was coming out. The nurse was dripping the jelly onto the head to ease the probe. After a minute or so the doc tor just retracted the foreskin all the way back. There was a white lump of goo that the nurse wiped away with a swab. and that was it.The doctor then moved my foreskin up and down to or three times and left the room to talk to my mother.
The nurse was nice she said soothing things and that i no longer had a baby penis, she smeared vaseline onto the head so as to stop is sticking.
My mum was given instruction to ensure I retracted often an to keep an eye on it in case the adhesions reformed.
Several years later at about thirteen, I was comparing my dick with My Best friend after we found out that we were both forcefully retracted, Rick's cock had a circular scar beside the rim of the head and my foreskin had re tightened so that only half the head could come out. With hind sight, and discussion about the topic with both our wives many years later, both of us would have been fine if left well alone.
