At what Tanner stage can the foreskin of the penis retract?

Last updated on September 24, 2020

Question:

At what Tanner stage for boys can the front foreskin of the penis retract?

Answer:

In uncircumcised boys, the foreskin usually detaches and is retractable before the age of five. In a few boys, this detachment doesn’t take place until puberty when the penis enlarges.

Retraction of the foreskin

See:

  • The skin on my penis doesn’t pull back all the way to release the tip of the penis
  • I am unable to fully retract the foreskin while my penis is erect
