In Reply.— Dr Watson addresses an important question—what is the proper method of hygiene in the noncircumcised male infant? Our position has long been that there should be no forceful retraction of the prepuce and that the external surface of the foreskin should be gently cleansed as other parts of the body are. All military health care providers we have communicated with advocate similar philosophies and have done so for many years. Thus, we do not believe that in the population we described that vigorous cleaning and prepuce manipulation were "scientific interventions" that contributed to the increased incidence of urinary tract infection in the uncircumcised boy.1,2
