How to find an intact-friendly physician?

intact

I had a great general physician for 10 years. She was intact-friendly and a thoughtful doctor in general. Now she’s retired.

I found her through a list published at Your Whole Baby. I don’t think the list is being kept up now. And it’s all pediatricians.

Have you found a way to find an intact-friendly GP in your location? Other than just calling offices and asking questions that the front desk staff likely won’t understand.

What is the clinical benefit of having an intact-friendly? Not to say that you’re doing this, but it creeps me out when people try to enlist unknowing health professionals as part of this sexual fetish.

Dude wtf is wrong with your tallywhacker that it needs constant medical attention? Go find a dude with the last name Stein or Berg he’ll take good care you.

Allow me to defend the OP, one time I had soreness and bruises from too much time on this site and went to urologist

They were 3 Jewish or Muslim guys and made me depants in front of all 3 then started sputing all this anti uncircumcised rhetoric, and also told me not to use moisturizer under the skin because fungus (seems like wack advice?). Luckily I have no problem showing my stuff and staying calm so they actually praised me in the end, but it was a whole weird thing. Definitely never going back there.

So my point is, sometimes it could be beneficial if this guy is trying to get some penis specific health advice from someone who isn’t one of those types of doctors I mentioned.

My advice? You should be very firm about your disinterest in circumcision and if a doctor cannot respect that, you need a new doctor. You and your doctor should be a team when it comes to your health. Just talk to them about it if you’re having problems with your foreskin for some reason. I’d also be worried if your doctor immediately brought up circumcision when you came in for blood pressure or weird lumps on your body since I mostly see a NP and sometimes the doctor above her, they tend to just refer me to various specialists after the exam for whatever problem I came in for.

But in my case, I’ve been seeing a urologist who merely floated the idea when I came back to him but isn’t interested in pushing it for my mild case of phimosis. Which I’m currently working on after my already tight skin got a bit tighter with no real visible signs of scarring with his help. I’ve personally never met a urologist who actively pushed for it since my phimosis was annoying but it wasn’t hurting me. And that’s with me being in the Midwest where circumcision rates were extremely high when I was born.

This is really more of an issue if you are looking for a pediatrician. What could they even do? You’re an adult, just be like “no.” lol.
