Is Circumcision Ever Medically Necessary? 

Care For The Intact Penis

CONGRATULATIONS! Thank you for choosing to keep your son intact and leaving this irreversible decision up to him! Now what? Sadly, the fight is not over. Many doctors are untrained in how to care for an intact child and  can cause infection and other problems. I highly suggest finding an "Intact Friendly" doctor in your area. Also, read below for more information on protecting your precious baby boy!

• A newborn boy's foreskin is tightly fused to the glans (head of the penis) and has a sphincter on the tip that prevents anything foreign entering the foreskin. The sphincter relaxes upon urination to let urine out. The foreskin also contains lyzosyme, a secretion that acts to destroy harmful microorganisms as well as Langerhans cells which may provide resistance to HIV infection.

Infection from Normal Separation

Andrew & Debbie's pediatrician gave them a great idea, "Our pediatrician gave us a helpful hint. Our son got a little infection due to his foreskin beginning to s eperate a tad early (while he is still in diapers, she says that ususally kids are a little older before this happens) she said that the easiest way to treathis infection (since his skin still wasn't fully retractable) was to use antibiotic eye drops. They are simple, they don't hurt, and they come in a perfect container for application! She said not a lot of pediatricians offer them because they are so unfamiliar with "not traditional treatment" methods. More and more Docs should be suggesting less invasive treatments for small infections.....afterall, it's not like they would suggest cutting something off of my daughter is she got an infection right?"
