How is child phimosis to return a responsibility?

First: under normal circumstances, the prepuce covers the glans of penis, which can protect the glans of penis and reduce external damage to the glans of penis. At the same time, the prepuce can also secrete some bactericidal enzymes to play a certain defensive role.

Second: it can be seen in every normal male newborn, which is a natural phenomenon in the process of male individual development. The natural adhesion between prepuce and glans penis at birth, about 96% of newborns have physiological phimosis. At the age of 3-4, with the growth and development of the penis, the accumulation of prepuce dirt, intermittent penile erection and instinctive extrusion, the prepuce and glans gradually separate, and the prepuce retracts upward to reveal the glans.
