Medical associations advise not to retract the foreskin of an infant, in order to prevent scarring. [13] [14] Some argue that non-retractability may "be considered normal for males up to and including adolescence." [15] [16] Hill states that full retractability of the foreskin may not be achieved until late childhood or early adulthood. [17]

The hymen has dense innervation. In newborn babies, still under the influence of the mother's hormones, the hymen is thick, pale pink, and redundant (folds in on itself and may protrude). For the first two to four years of life, the infant produces hormones that continue this effect. [12] Their hymenal opening tends to be annular ...
One technique for reducing the clitoral hood is the bilateral excision (cutting) of the prepuce tissues covering the clitoral glans, with especial attention to maintaining the glans in the midline. [6] Another technique cuts away (excises) the redundant folds of clitoral prepuce tissue, with incisions parallel to the long axis of the clitoris. [7]
