The results showed no significant difference. This is a rare condition that cannot be diagnosed until adolescence or later. The term is often incorrectly applied to any foreskin that cannot be retracted . Many people think the foreskin should retract during infancy. In fact, the foreskins of infants and young boys are naturally fused to the glans.
Retraction is a very gradual process.
A non-retractable foreskin is normal in childhood and should not be confused with phimosis. Phimosis is commonly misunderstood and misdiagnosed. Using the surgical treatment of circumcision to prevent phimosis is a little like preventing headaches by decapitation. Para-phimosis can also be caused by rigorous or unclean retraction attempts. This is when the foreskin becomes stuck behind the head of the penis.
