What should I do if my child has genital pain?

As we all know, the genitals are very important reproductive organs in the human body. They are also very sensitive. Any problems that arise must be handled with caution. If a child's genitals hurt, the cause should be found based on the child's situation. For example, it may be caused by external factors. Children may accidentally touch their genitals when playing around. To be on the safe side, it is best to take your child to see a doctor. The common solutions are listed below.

What should I do if my child has genital pain?

It is often considered to be a clinical manifestation caused by inflammatory response of the urinary system. It is recommended to go to a professional urology department and pediatric department for a routine urine test, and do bacterial culture and drug sensitivity test at the same time, so that targeted medication can be used. Be sure to let your child drink plenty of water to flush the urinary system.

The above symptoms may be caused by balanitis. Male children often have phimosis or foreskin that is too long, which makes it easy for dirt to accumulate inside the foreskin. Over time, it will cause inflammation and lead to pain. Therefore, in this case, it is best to go to the urology department of the hospital for further diagnosis and treatment through detailed examination.

There are usually two reasons why children experience genital pain when urinating: 1. Urinary tract infection. Due to the existence of physiological phimosis in children, the infection is not easy to detect, so routine urine examination is recommended. 2. Some children may have urinary stones, which may cause genital pain. Therefore, take your baby to the hospital for a routine urine test. If there is an infection, use cephalosporin antibiotics for treatment.

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.
