For uncircumcised male, what step involves the foreskin during pericare?

• A. Pull foreskin back on uncircumcised penis; push skin toward base of penis
• B. Do not touch the foreskin
• C. Pull foreskin forward toward head
• D. Remove foreskin entirely

Answer: (A)

During pericare for an uncircumcised penis, the important step is to gently retract the foreskin to clean under it, then return the foreskin to its natural position to cover the glans. This ensures the area beneath is clean while preserving normal anatomy and reducing irritation or infection risk. Do not skip cleaning under the foreskin, do not attempt to remove the foreskin, and do not leave it retracted or pull it forward without returning it to its proper place. If retraction isn’t easily possible, avoid forcing it and seek guidance.
