    The glans penis can usually be fully exposed between the ages of 12 and 18 at the latest, and patients need symptomatic treatment according to different causes.

    The development of the glans is different at different ages. When a boy is born, the glans is wrapped in the foreskin and cannot be turned up. When boys are born, without exception, the foreskin is too long. There are also some patients whose foreskin opening is too small and cannot be turned up, which is called phimosis, and requires surgical treatment. With the development of puberty, the adhesion between the inner plate of the foreskin and the epithelium on the surface of the glans penis is absorbed, the foreskin shrinks, and the glans penis is exposed.

    Because children develop puberty at different times, the penis develops sooner or later. Most of them gradually appear between the ages of 12 and 18.
