Who Doesn't Know This

RONALD F. GOLDMAN 1

1 Circumcision Resource Center, PO Box 232, Boston, MA 02133

To the Editor.—

As more parents choose to not circumcise their sons, pediatricians are coming in contact with more children with foreskins. We hear from a growing number of parents who report that their pediatrician has forced the retraction of their son's foreskin. Therefore, the purpose of this letter is to remind pediatricians that, as stated in bold letters in the publication "Newborns: Care of the Uncircumcised Penis" by the American Academy of Pediatrics, 1992, "No attempt should be made to forcefully retract the foreskin."
