Parents whose sons suffered circumcision complications. Immediate assistance from a knowledgeable attorney is strongly recommended. Parents of intact sons whose foreskin was prematurely retracted by force by a doctor or nurse.
Ignorance is rampant among medical people about penile and foreskin development.
Many still believe that the foreskin must be retractable at birth or by ages 3 to 5. Some also advise parents to retract their son's foreskin during bathing. All of this is inappropriate care that can cause your son a great deal of pain and trauma, as well as damage your son's penis and lead to further complications. Anatomical research confirms that while the vast majority of intact boys will have a fully retractable foreskin by ages 11 to 15, there may still be a rare chance that your son's foreskin might not be retractable until age 18. If they do, seek immediate assistance from a knowledgeable attorney.
