Intact-friend and foreskin-friendly are interchangable terms used in the United States, where non-therapeutic male of boys circumcision has been generally practiced, to describe health-care providers who are knowledgeable regarding care of the natural penis with a foreskin.
The extraordinary ignorance of many American health-care providers regarding the human foreskin, a natural body part, makes these terms necessary.[1] It is said that the only thing doctors learn in medical school about the human foreskin is that it is to be cut off!
Parents need to be especially wary at their intact son's visit to a doctor for any reason.[2] It is very common for American medical doctors, including pediatricians who should know better, to forcibly retract a young boy's non-retractile foreskin, thereby causing great injury and pain.[3]
Doctors Opposing Circumcision provides a page that provides assistance to parents who want to report a physician for wrongful retraction of their young son's foreskin.[4]
Your Whole Baby provides a listing of medical doctors who have been reported to be intact-friendly.[5]
