}}</ref> The foreskin is normally non-retractable in childhood. Such providers may attempt premature [[forced foreskin retraction]] to the harm of the boy or even demand that the boy be [[circumcised]] to permit catheter insertion.
These issues do not occur in other advanced nations where health care providers are properly trained in the care of [[intact]] boys.
