[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Although this certainly isn't a good reason to circumcise, as a mom that didn't, my son's doc hasn't really been helpful in providing info on how to clean/care for my son's penis, and hasn't been helpful or responsive to questions re the same.  Yes, I know, just clean with soap and water on the outside till the foreskin seems to be retracting, but now it sort of seems to be, but isn't completely, and when I asked her what to do, she stared at me blankly.[/quote]

I agree it is sad that many doctors don't seem to know what to do re: uncircumcised boys. My pediatrician is Trinidadian and she pulled my son's foreskin back on one visit :shock: . Luckily, though uncomfortable, it wasn't painful for him. But, she believes that the foreskin should be pulled back and the area cleaned routinely. I ignore everything related to this advice. Otherwise, she is a good pediatrician so I still use her for my children (minus the foreskin pull-back).

*BTW, you don't need to do anything to your son's foreskin. As long as he's cleaning his genitals with soap and water (including the "tip" of the foreskin area), you're good. The foreskin will start to retract on its own at puberty. [/quote]
