Forced foreskin retraction: Difference between revisions

Line 2:

"At birth, the [[foreskin]] is fused to the [[Glans penis|glans]] (head) of the [[penis]] by a membrane known as the balano-preputial lamina. This membrane, in the fullness of time, will dissolve naturally, allowing the [[foreskin]] to retract from the [[Glans penis|glans]] when desired by the male.

This membrane, in the fullness of time, will dissolve naturally, allowing the [[foreskin]] to retract from the [[Glans penis|glans]] when desired by the male.

The age at which the [[foreskin]] can easily retract varies widely: some boys are retractable in their late toddler years, but many are well into teen years before the membrane dissolves fully. Virtually all medical practicioners in countries that do not practice [[RIC|routine infant circumcision]] understand this process and know that to force back the [[foreskin]] before it is ready HURTS, opens the [[penis]] to infection, and can damage the [[foreskin]] itself, causing a lifetime of woe.
