Changes

Boys usually are born with a non-retractile foreskin. The [[foreskin ]] gradually becomes retractable over a variable period of time ranging from birth to 18 years or more.<ref name="Øster1968"/><ref name="Thorvaldsen"/> There is no “right” age for the foreskin to become retractable. Non-retractile foreskin does not threaten health in childhood and no intervention is necessary. Many boys only develop a retractable foreskin after puberty. Education of concerned parents usually is the only action required.<ref>{{REFjournal
