Children's foreskin swelling

Many children wear open-crotch pants when they are young, mainly to facilitate the changing of changing pads or diapers, because children's bodies are not fully developed and they may not be aware of their own urination and defecation. Some parents rarely use diapers for their babies because their babies are boys, which may cause their genitals to be exposed. Children's foreskin redness and swelling is a problem that many parents are worried about. What is going on?

1. What is the cause of the baby's foreskin redness and swelling?

Redness and swelling of the baby's foreskin is a common disease in babies. Usually, if parents do not pay attention to the hygiene of the baby's vulva, the baby will touch it with dirty hands, which will lead to balanitis caused by the deposition of smegma in the foreskin. The specific analysis is as follows:

The baby's foreskin is red and swollen, which may be caused by balanitis. It is recommended to pay attention to local cleanliness and hygiene, apply erythromycin ointment for observation, ask the baby to drink more water and eat less spicy food. For the treatment of the baby's foreskin, you can inject broad-spectrum antibiotics and clean the baby's foreskin twice a day. It will definitely get better after three days. It doesn't matter if the foreskin cannot be turned up. When cleaning, it can be turned up as much as possible. Do these actions frequently and the foreskin will be turned up without surgery. You don't need to take any medicine after the redness and swelling disappears, but it is best to wash it frequently until the foreskin is turned up.

2. What to do if a 3-year-old child has red and swollen chickens?

If a 3-year-old child has redness and swelling of the chicken, it may be caused by local infection due to vulvitis or allergic dermatitis. It is recommended that parents should take their children to the hospital's pediatric department for examination as soon as possible. After the cause is determined, treatment should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor. During the treatment, attention should be paid to the child's local hygiene cleaning, changing underwear frequently, trying to wear loose cotton underwear, and not giving the child irritating food. In particular, be careful not to let the child scratch the affected area with his hands to aggravate the infection.

3. Health knowledge of chicks for 3-year-old children

1. Correct way to clean the penis: gently open the foreskin and rinse it, washing as much as possible.

2. Manual dilation of the foreskin opening: Generally, starting from 6 months after the birth of a boy, babies with tight foreskin opening can undergo manual dilation treatment for phimosis.

3. After cleaning the vulva every day, parents can use their fingers to lift the foreskin. They can feel the narrow ring of the foreskin become tense and white like a rubber band. Just persist for a few seconds. Gradually, the foreskin opening will become loose and the glans will be exposed. Note that the amplitude of each upward movement should not be too large. The newly exposed glans penis is particularly sensitive and should be soaked and gently washed. After cleaning, it should be turned down and repositioned in time to avoid foreskin incarceration. If the foreskin still cannot be easily retracted before school age, circumcision surgery may be considered.

Because 3-year-old children are young, they often do not know much about cleanliness and hygiene. Therefore, as parents, we must slowly educate children on how to do daily cleanliness and hygiene. In addition, if they go out and come home, they must wash their hands in time, take a bath every day, and change clothes frequently. This can reduce the invasion of bacteria on children and reduce illness.
