What is the cause of the redness and swelling of the child's foreskin?

Many parents accidentally discovered that their children's foreskin was red and swollen when bathing them. In severe cases, the swelling is so severe that some parents cannot bear to see it. At this time, many people are very curious about the cause of the redness and swelling of children's foreskin, so that they can pay more attention to it in the future. Let's ask the andrology expert to introduce the reasons to you! I hope that through the editor's explanation, parents should be able to prescribe the right medicine in time after understanding it.

reason

Phimosis is one of the complications that may be caused by excessive foreskin. It is more common among young men. Many male friends do not pay much attention to the hygiene of their penis in daily life, which makes the incidence of phimosis remain at a high level.

1. Not paying attention to the hygiene of the external genitalia. Because men are busy with work and have bad habits, they do not have much time to pay attention to the hygiene of their external genitalia, so they are easily invaded by bacteria. Since the sebaceous glands of the foreskin of young male friends usually secrete more vigorously, if male friends do not pay attention to cleaning the external genitalia, or do not turn the foreskin up when cleaning, the secretions of the sebaceous glands of the foreskin will accumulate under the foreskin, thus forming smegma like tofu dregs. Smegma culture bacteria cause foreskin edema.

2. Caused by masturbation damage. Because young men have strong sexual desire, they often masturbate. Sometimes, due to excessively rough masturbation, the foreskin may be damaged to varying degrees. Because the mind is highly excited during masturbation and the damage is relatively small, it may not be noticed. However, the wound on the foreskin can easily be contaminated by bacteria, causing foreskin edema. Wounds on the foreskin are easily contaminated by bacteria, which can lead to foreskin edema.

3. Suffering from phimosis or prepuce, and not undergoing circumcision surgery in time. Many male friends have the problem of foreskin being too long or phimosis, which is one of the main factors causing foreskin edema. For male friends with foreskin being too long, the glans penis is usually always wrapped in the foreskin and needs to be turned up by hand to be exposed; for male friends with phimosis, there is no way to turn up the foreskin to expose the glans penis even with the help of hands. I believe that patients with foreskin edema will understand better after reading this.

Recommendation: If you find yourself with foreskin edema, you must seek treatment in time. Do not delay and miss the best time to treat foreskin edema.

This is the introduction to the reasons why children’s foreskin becomes red and swollen. I hope parents will urge their children to avoid these factors in the future to prevent the occurrence of foreskin redness and swelling. In addition, if the foreskin is red and swollen, it should be sent to a professional andrology hospital as soon as possible for systematic treatment. The earlier the treatment, the greater the chance of recovery, which is also beneficial to the child.
