There is a foreign body in the foreskin of a child

Children do not know how to keep themselves clean. As parents, we must keep our babies clean and hygienic, and change their clothes in time. It is best to expose their clothes to the sun for disinfection, which can prevent them from being infected with many diseases. Some children have precocious puberty, and some have foreskin that is too long. Bacteria can easily accumulate in the foreskin, causing inflammation. Parents must pay attention to this.

Men's diseases are not only suffered by adults, children can also suffer from men's diseases. If children do not maintain good hygiene, especially some children with long foreskin and the glans is covered by the foreskin for a long time, a large amount of dirt will form inside the foreskin. If it is not cleaned in time, it may cause inflammation. Let’s take a look at what happens when there is white dirt inside a child’s foreskin.

1. Some children may have precocious puberty and also have the problem of phimosis. The sebaceous glands of the foreskin secrete abnormally strongly, and the increased and accumulated secretions will form a white substance, which is the so-called smegma. The production of smegma creates an environment for bacterial growth. If the smegma is not cleaned in time, it may cause inflammation of the foreskin and glans. At this time, you should pay attention to personal hygiene, and parents should consider taking their children to a regular hospital for circumcision.

2. Balanitis. In fact, children may also suffer from foreskin and glans inflammation. The bacteria that cause this inflammation are mainly streptococci, staphylococci, and Escherichia coli. Secondly, infections such as mycoplasma, chlamydia, and various types of fungi may also cause inflammation of the foreskin and glans. As the inflammation continues to worsen, a large amount of inflammatory secretions will be produced, some of which are white or milky white.

3. Pay attention to prevention in daily life. Children's personal hygiene should be maintained. Parents should supervise their children to take a bath regularly and clean the foreskin frequently. Use clean water for normal cleaning and do not use detergents to avoid irritation to the foreskin. If the child's foreskin is too long, treatment is required. The underwear that children usually wear should preferably be pure cotton underwear, loose and breathable.

The above is an introduction to what happens when there is white dirt inside a child’s foreskin. In fact, situations like this can be completely avoided. As parents, we should check our children's bodies regularly. If we find such phenomena, in addition to cleaning and care, we should also take our children to the hospital for examination. If it is indeed caused by infection, we need to actively receive treatment.
