Genital pain in children

In our lives, many children often experience genital pain. At this time, parents must take their children to the hospital for examination in time. If the children are not treated properly, it is likely that the children's genitals will no longer develop and some genitals will be short or unable to grow normally. The impact is very large. So what should children do if they have genital pain?

It is a common phenomenon for young children to experience genital pain, especially boys. Sometimes they like to play with their genitals out of curiosity. This can easily lead to bacterial infection and cause genital pain. In addition to this situation, if children do not pay attention to personal hygiene in public places, cross infection may occur, which is also very harmful to children. As parents, we must avoid this and seek timely treatment once pain and infection occur.

1. Many babies like to move their genitals for a period of time. This is due to their curiosity. Secondly, it is possible that such behavior makes the baby feel comfortable, which is understandable, but the baby should be made aware that such actions are unhygienic. But don't scold harshly, as this will only reinforce the situation. You can try diverting your baby's attention and get him to focus on other activities. Over time, this phenomenon will disappear on its own in most babies.

2. Another reason why the baby moves his genitals may be that he is uncomfortable. Maybe the underwear the baby wears is too tight, or there is pain in the genitals. When encountering this situation, parents should not let their children wear too many clothes or too hot. They should wear looser underwear to avoid the underwear rubbing against the child's external genitalia, and at the same time keep the external genitalia clean and hygienic. If the child has pinworms, phimosis or perineal eczema, he or she will often rub the penis due to local itching. You should take the child to the hospital for treatment.

What causes genital pain in boys?

Put underwear on your baby

Well-fitting underwear can reduce a child's exposure to their genitals. Wearing underwear can prevent germs from invading the baby's body and prevent symptoms such as vulvar infection. Wearing underwear can cultivate the baby's independence, because the horizontal and vertical dimensions of the underwear are the same, so the baby's hands-on ability and observation ability will be greatly enhanced, and the baby can also learn to recognize gender. Therefore, it is best for children to wear underwear before the age of 3. If possible, the earlier they wear it, the better it is for the baby.
