At what age should the foreskin separate from the glan

foreskin detachment is the separation of the foreskin from the glan. At birth, the foreskin is attached to the head of the penis (glans). It is attached by a layer of cells. Over time, the foreskin will separate from the head of the penis. This is a natural process and occurs over 5 to 10 years. It slowly loosens up (retracts) a little at a time. Normal erections during childhood cause most of the change by stretching the foreskin. If your boy has a normal urine stream, any foreskin movement is normal. There should be no rush to achieve full retraction. This always occurs on its own by puberty.
