Care of intact, foreskinned boys provides parents with basic information on the care of intact boys.

Discussion

The intact foreskin has protective and immunological functions that work best when the foreskin is left alone.

The preputial mucosa of the foreskin is fused with the glans penis by the synechia in infancy and childhood so the foreskin cannot be retracted. No attempt to retract the foreskin should be made. Forcible retraction is harmful. Wright (1994) advises that the first person to retract the boy’s foreskin should be the boy himself.[1]

Thorvaldsen & Meyhoff (2005) conducted a survey of 4,000 boys in Denmark where most boys are intact. They reported that the mean age of first foreskin retraction is 10.4 years in Denmark.[2] Øster (1968) reported that a few boys may not retract until after puberty.[3]
