In infancy, phimosis is considered physiological (normal). [11] At birth, the foreskin is naturally adhered to the glans, and cannot be retracted. As the child ages, in most cases, the foreskin will naturally detach. In young boys, it is normal not to be able to pull back the foreskin at all. [7]
During normal development, testes form in the retroperitoneum, the back part of the abdomen, and subsequently descend through the inguinal canal into the scrotum. Diagnosing undescended testicles involves a physical examination. If the testis cannot be felt, it is categorized as "non-palpable."

Posthitis can have infectious causes such as bacteria or fungi, or non-infectious causes such as contact dermatitis or psoriasis.The inflammation may be caused by irritants in the environment.
A reference range is usually defined as the set of values 95 percent of the normal population falls within (that is, 95% prediction interval). [2] It is determined by collecting data from vast numbers of laboratory tests. [citation needed]
In a normal situation, all the cells in an individual will have 46 chromosomes, with one being an X and one a Y or with two Xs. However, sometimes during the early copying processes of DNA replication and cell division, one chromosome can be lost. In 45,X/46,XY, most or all of the Y chromosome is lost in one of the newly created cells.

A better estimate is provided by the total area of the cross-sections perpendicular to the muscle fibers (green lines in figure 1). This measure is known as the physiological cross-sectional area (PCSA), and is commonly calculated and defined by the following formula, developed in 1975 by Alexander and Vernon: [4] [5] [6]
