What causes redness and swelling of children's penis?

When boys are young, they always have some genital problems. Especially when the child's penis is red and swollen, many parents think that it is caused by external force, and always think that the redness and swelling will disappear on their own after a period of time. In fact, this approach is wrong, because there are many reasons for children's penis redness and swelling. Let me share with you below. I hope the editor's introduction can be of some reference value to you.

The causes of penis swelling are:

Redness of the glans penis is a symptom that often occurs in patients. The glans and foreskin are originally an "offensive and defensive integrated" body. When it is necessary to take action, the foreskin will release the glans to complete its mission; and at other times, the glans will be protected under the foreskin to resist the invasion of bacteria and viruses.

Redness of the glans often means that the glans is beginning to become inflamed. There are many reasons for glans inflammation, but generally speaking, they are all related to "over-care" of the foreskin.

Causes of red and swollen glans:

1. It is caused by balanitis, which can cause the glans to become red, white, or have other visual changes.

2. Masturbation or lack of attention to hygiene, poor hygiene of the external genitalia, etc. If you do not pay attention to hygiene, it may cause the glans to turn red.

3. If the foreskin is too long or phimosis occurs, a circumcision surgery is required.

4. Other symptoms are caused by diseases.

Redness of the glans penis is often a sign of balanitis. The main symptoms of balanoposthitis are local redness, swelling, papules, ulcers, etc. In some patients, the bacteria develop deeper into the human body through the urethra and may invade the male reproductive system such as the prostate, seminal vesicles, epididymis, and testicles. Especially for patients suffering from phimosis, a large amount of secretions cannot be discharged, and the accumulation can form smegma. Children with phimosis often have bumpy "lumps" on the surface of the foreskin, and these "lumps" are the smegma.

After reading the above introduction, you must understand the reason why children have this disease. If your child has this disease, it is very necessary to go to the hospital in time to find out the cause. If it is not treated in time, it may seriously cause the child to be infertile in the future, so it must be given enough attention.
