Number of persons to retract a boys penis. Him and ONLY him.
“As a boy becomes more aware of his body, he will most likely discover how to retract his own foreskin. But foreskin retraction should never be forced. Until the foreskin fully separates, do not try to pull it back. Forcing the foreskin to retract before it is ready can cause severe pain, bleeding and tears in the skin.” (The American Academy of Pediatrics)

Six hundred and twenty-five infant boys would need to be circumcised to prevent one UTI hospitalization in the first 5 years of life. 

Penile cancer is so rare that we would need to have 900 newborns circumcised to prevent one case of penile cancer. In a letter to the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Cancer Society stated that it “does not consider routine circumcision to be a valid or effective measure to prevent [penile or cervical] cancers. Penile cancer rates in countries which do not practice baby circumcision are lower than those found in the U.S.”

Did you know that around half of boys in the U.S. are now being kept intact as families are learning that the procedure is completely unnecessary?
