Changes

Almost all boys are born with the inner [[foreskin ]] mucosa fused with the underlying glans penis by the [[synechia]]. Most also have a narrow foreskin that cannot retract. Non-retractile foreskin is normal at birth and remains common in the normal range until after puberty (age 18). The non-retractile foreskin is nature's way of protecting the young boy from [[meatal stenosis]] and [[infection]] in the [[preputial sac]].  Some boys develop retractile foreskin earlier, and about 2 percent of males have a non-retractile foreskin throughout life. Non-retractile foreskin is not a disease and does not require treatment.
