Changes

Baby boys are born with the foreskin fused with the [[glans penis]] by a [[synechia| synechial membrane]], which prevents retraction. The In addition, the tip of the foreskin ([[acroposthion]]) is usually too narrow to allow [[retraction of the foreskin]]. The preputial cavity is closed by the synechia and cannot be infected.<ref name="fleiss-hodges-vanhowe1998"/> Forcible attempts to retract the foreskin result in injury to the boy, so should be avoided. The first person to retract the foreskin should be the boy himself.
