My son s doctor has been retracting his foreskin. My son is 3 weeks old. He has done it twice. The first time, I didn t notice my son in pain so I didn t really question it and I didn t know much about what is right and wrong regarding what to do with his foreskin anyways. Today, he retracted his foreskin for the second time and I could see it ripping. He cried this time. Although his doctor was not trying to retract it completely, just little by little, it didn t feel right. So I ve been looking online and seeing that everywhere I go says to never forcibly retract his foreskin and that many doctors do this because of their lack of knowledge regarding foreskin care. Is this true? Is he correct in asking me to little by little retract it slightly or should I let nature take its course?
HI, What your doctor did is not right as there is no need to retract the foreskin if there is no difficulty for your son in passing urine. If though foreskin is nonretracting, just leave it off is my advice as long as your son is comfortable in passing urine. Hope it answers your query
