Forcible retraction of the foreskin

rdfs:comment

Forcible retraction of the foreskin, sometimes called premature retraction, refers to the retraction of the foreskin (prepuce) in infants or young adults, where the penis and the prepuce have not yet sufficiently developed to allow for full or partial retraction. This may be painful, and can sometimes damage the glans and mucous inner tissue of the foreskin. It is sometimes performed by doctors who may be unfamiliar with the uncircumcised penis in general, and is a necessary step in infant circumcision. The unretractible infant foreskin is often misdiagnosed as pathological phimosis.
