Little boy foreskin inflammation

It is a common phenomenon for many little boys to have foreskin that is too long during their growth process. Especially in summer, if a little boy has a long foreskin, it will easily lead to excessive smegma, which may cause inflammation, painful urination and other symptoms. When the child is a little older, he can undergo circumcision. The foreskin should be cleaned regularly to keep the foreskin cavity clean and dry to avoid various inflammations caused by excessive foreskin in little boys.

Question 1

Balanitis in boys is an increasingly common disease. Children with this inflammation usually have phimosis or foreskin that is too long. Parents usually do not pay attention to help their children to turn up the foreskin to clean it. Over time, smegma accumulates between the foreskin and the glans penis, which can become inflamed due to contamination such as urine. After inflammation, the urethral opening becomes red and swollen. When urinating, the first thing you see is the swelling of the foreskin, and then you can see the dripping urine. In severe cases, urination is also difficult. Therefore, it is very important to keep the child's external genitalia clean. Parents can start cleaning the child's external genitalia from the age of 2 when the boy is 2 years old. When cleaning, use your hands to gently help expose the glans penis, and use running water to drip into the foreskin sac to rinse it. Reset it immediately after cleaning. Once inflammation occurs, if it is a local mild inflammation, berberine can be applied externally to the inflamed area.

Methods and steps:

1. Children's foreskin is relatively long, and the glans will be exposed during puberty. Parents should not be anxious, and should not rush to perform circumcision surgery on their children.

2. Pay attention to your child's private parts hygiene, bathe him/her regularly, change his/her underwear frequently, and keep it dry and breathable.

3. Clean the smegma of your child more often. For many children, urine will accumulate in the urethra and form smegma because of long foreskin. Therefore, you should clean the smegma of your child when bathing.

4. When the child is a little older, let the child pay more attention to his own hygiene and turn over the foreskin more often to see if it can be turned up. Try to turn it over gently so as not to hurt it. If it cannot be done, don't do it.

5. If parents feel that their child's foreskin is too long during bathing, they should take the child to the hospital for a check-up. Do not feel embarrassed and let the doctor give a specific plan.

6. If the child cannot expose the glans penis when he is young, it is normal, but if it cannot be turned down, it is phimosis and requires surgical treatment. Parents, especially fathers, should pay attention to the healthy growth of their children. If the child cannot expose the glans penis during adolescence, he or she needs surgery even more.
