The '''attachment of the foreskin''' to the [[penis]] may occur in three different ways that tend to be confusing. They are ''fusion'', ''adhesion'', and the ''frenulum''.
== Fusion ==
Baby boys are born with the inner surface of their [[foreskin]] fused with the underlying [[glans penis]] by the balano-preputial lamina, which is a thin sheet of connective tissue. The balano-preputial lamina seals the [[preputial sac]] and prevents [[infection]]. It spontaneously breaks down over a widely-variable span of years and releases the foreskin from the glans penis.
