The baby’s genitals have developed and taken shape in the mother’s tummy. Many mothers will have many questions and entanglements about their baby’s penis, and the article shared today may be able to relieve your doubts. How does the baby boy’s penis develop before the age of 3? 1, in terms of appearance, what should have are Read this small title, many mothers are smiling, this is how plain, simple criteria ah. Indeed, the baby’s genitals should have all important, there are really a lot of life should have no it. First of all, the baby’s penis can be normally revealed, as for the size of individual differences, as long as they can urinate normally, and have an erection, there is no need to worry too much. Both testicles are in the scrotum and are basically the same size, with no redness or swelling. If the baby has one or both testicles often not in the scrotum, there may be a problem of incomplete testicular descent or cryptorchidism, which is a disease and needs to take the baby to the doctor. 2, the penis can be erect, normal function Normal function refers to the normal development of the baby’s spongy body, the specific performance is, in urination or other times can be hard, basically, can erect means normal function. If it is always flaccid and never sees an erection, you need to pay attention to it and seek medical attention in time. 3, newborns have physiological prepuce You may be worried about how the baby’s glans has never been exposed, always wrapped in foreskin, in fact, this is normal. 0 to 3 years old babies, belong to the physiological prepuce, foreskin and glans stick together, there is the role of protecting the delicate glans. By the age of about 3, some babies will be partially revealed, some babies are still all wrapped up, which is also normal, and may be gradually revealed in the future development. 3 Problems with Baby Circumcision: In many European and American countries, most parents will choose to circumcise their male babies at birth, which is mainly a matter of perception, in addition to religious beliefs. So, to circumcise or not to circumcise a baby may seem like a medical issue, but it is often a decision of the parents. A. Where exactly is circumcision? The circumcision is to circumcise the part of the glans that is wrapped around the glans, as well as the part of the foreskin that is too long in front of the pile. After the surgery, the glans will be mostly revealed at ordinary times, and all of it will be revealed when there is an erection. Second, which cases need to do circumcision? 1, the foreskin is too tight As the name suggests, the foreskin is too tightly wrapped around the glans, often bringing a series of complications, such as inflammation, redness, white prepuce buildup, white slag-like discharge from the urethra. If the foreskin is too tight, it may also affect urination and make it difficult to urinate, as shown by the fact that it feels painful when urinating and the baby will cry. 2, foreskin is too long refers to the penis erection when the glans cannot be revealed, but for the presence of prepuce baby, can also be judged from the performance of urination. Normal urination will have a urine line that shows a certain curvature and can accurately urinate into the urinal. In the case of babies with prepuce, when they urinate, the urine will have to pass through a section of piled up foreskin, so the urine line is not very straight, the direction will be off, and they will often urinate on their shoes and pant legs, and there will be residual urine dripping out after they finish urinating. The foreskin often has a bad smell and even causes a rash dermatitis on the surrounding skin. 3, a fire is often inflamed, red and swollen Some babies are constipated, long mouth sores, while some babies are on fire, the penis is prone to inflammation, red and swollen, so that the baby suffering, very painful. The root of the problem is still the foreskin mouth is too tight, can not be turned full wash, hidden foreskin scale and lurking bacteria in the body resistance is lowered to make waves. Parents can consider circumcision to help their baby to solve the problem. Although there are no symptoms mentioned above, circumcision is also an option to prevent complications of circumcision. Even if your baby is fine now, it does not preclude the above problems and complications from occurring later. In order to prevent these problems, circumcision can be done when your baby is small to solve the problem once and for all. This concept and practice is already the choice of many “post-80s” and “post-90s” parents. How old is the best age for surgery? The newborn is the best age for surgery because the younger the baby is, the lighter the local reaction to the surgery, and the less painful the memory, and the easier it is to care for. From the point of view of recovery, the baby in this period, mainly lying down, less activity, recovery is relatively fast – more. If you miss this age, it is also appropriate to do the surgery when the baby is four or five years old, before school age, because at this time, the baby is relatively more knowledgeable, know how to protect themselves better, some post-operative precautions, the baby can also cooperate with parents. If the baby is troubled by circumcision complications and has the indications and conditions for surgery, he or she can be treated surgically at any time. Daily care and cleaning of the penis: Enough knowledge has been learned, so what exactly can mothers do in their lives? 1, diligently push the foreskin, wash the glans After half a year, parents in the baby bath, you can push the foreskin up a push, the parts that can be exposed to do a little cleaning, help local hygiene and health, but also to help the baby to develop a good habit of cleaning. When pushing, pay attention to the strength, look at the baby’s reaction, if he appears to resist, unwilling to stop. 2, pay attention to safety, to avoid accidents Male babies like to ride wooden horses, slide, in doing these playtime to pay attention to protect the penis. In addition, you must also pay attention to the pants zipper, be careful not to pinch injuries. 3, the baby loves to touch the penis, do not reprimand, do not scold From the health point of view, the baby loves to touch the penis is no big deal, and the penis often erect, will also help the development. But you need to check whether your baby’s hands are clean, whether there is inflammation, redness and swelling, and if there is any discomfort, go to the hospital in time to deal with it. From the point of view of children’s psychosexual development, this behavior is also normal and should not be publicly reprimanded or scolded, making him feel ashamed of what he has done. However, you have to tell him that it is a very private thing and cannot be done in front of others. If it is in a private space, you can let him be, if it is in public, to divert his attention. These situations require prompt medical attention: 1, the baby’s testicles do not descend into the scrotum, if this happens for a long time, it will affect the baby’s development and bring serious consequences. 2.The scrotum looks one big and one small, it may be hernia and syringomyelia, which need surgery. 3.If the testicles feel one big and one small, it may be inflammation of the testicles or tumor, which needs timely medical attention. 4, baby urinary frequency, urinary urgency, urinary pain, and even cloudy in the urine, the baby has a fever, you need to promptly consult a doctor, do anti-infection treatment, may also be related to internal deformities, such as the existence of reflux, valve and other problems, you need to do ultrasound, imaging and other tests to rule out urinary system deformities. 5, the baby’s penis has not been erect except for small, need to seek medical attention. 12 confusion and answers for mothers 1, small penis now, will also be small in the future? A group of boys playing together, mothers do not say, but secretly must have looked at their children’s penis all over, nothing more, just want to make sure that their own baby’s dick is small or not? Now small does not mean that the future will always be small, after the development of puberty, there may be a big change, there may be a relatively small compared to others, this is possible, so parents first do not have to worry too much. The size itself is an individual difference, nothing comparable, as long as the function is normal, it will not affect the future life. 2, in the end how big is considered normal? There is really no standard answer to this question, although I can understand the eagerness of mothers to find a standard answer that will solve their doubts and various problems once and for all. I can only say that I hope mothers are relaxed, because the penis is too small and affect life is really a minority, the vast majority are no problem. 3, the penis is often hidden in the flesh, the appearance looks small, what should be done? In fact, this is the problem of revealing. Some babies’ penises are not small, sometimes because the subcutaneous fat is thicker, usually the penis looks small, push up the skin of the root of the penis, found not small, but not fully revealed. In this case, with the development of puberty and redistribution of fat, this situation will improve and the penis will be revealed when erect and will not affect the normal life in the future. If the erection of the glans is obstructed due to circumcision, you can choose to do circumcision surgery for your baby and do not easily find an inexperienced doctor for circumcision to avoid short skin during erection. 4, the foreskin mouth is too small young children’s penis are circumcised. Even if you jerk down with your hand, few children’s glans can be exposed. Even if you do, you can show half of it at most. 90% of the children can see a part of the glans inside from the foreskin mouth. Some of these 90% are very small, so small that you barely know where the opening is. When such children pee, the front of the penis will bulge like a balloon, and the pee will be as thin as a line. Although you can pee, it requires force and can have a bad effect on the kidneys. So in this case you need to go to a urologist and use medicine to enlarge the foreskin opening. 5.Wash? To wash or not to wash? Many mothers are confused about whether they should wash their penises or not. In fact, even for children, dirt can accumulate between the foreskin and the glans, so rinsing during bath time can keep it clean and prevent glans circumcision. The actual fact is that the actual person’s head is covered by the foreskin, because the foreskin is too small, the foreskin is too narrow, too long and too hard, the foreskin and the glans have adhesion and other conditions, down to reveal the glans is not an easy thing. The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who are not able to get a good deal on a lot of things. So be sure not to do it hard. 6, be wary of fathers with good intentions to do bad things Even if you are lucky that your child’s foreskin mouth is relatively large, jerk down to be able to reveal the glans, but it is not possible to fully see the root of the glans, to reveal half of the glans is already considered very good. This is because almost all children have adhesions between the foreskin and glans, resulting in even downward jerking, jerking to the adhesions part is out of the question. This is the time to be wary of the dads! When they bathe with their children, they are likely to think that their children can do the same because they can simply do it themselves, and thus insist on jerking their foreskin downwards leading to the problems written above. This normal adhesion of the children, with time and development will gradually become better, parents do not need to worry. 7, baby like to touch the penis is why? The child likes to touch the penis, let him not touch but also touch. It is not uncommon for mothers to be anxious and jumpy about this. Dr. Yajima explains that “mothers who don’t have a penis have a hard time understanding the feeling of feeling at ease when they touch their penis. No one cares about touching ears and noses, but not about touching a penis? Adults will consciously associate this behavior with “sex”, it is too much to think. When the hand naturally drops, just in the location of the penis, and just convex, unconsciously will want to touch, and soft how good to touch ah. So even if the child says “touching is very comfortable” there is absolutely no “sexual” meaning. It’s not someone else’s anyway, right? Generally do not need to interfere, as the child grows slowly will care about the eyes of friends, and naturally will not touch again. 8, pay attention to like to touch the penis may be due to illness Although it is normal to touch the penis in general, but parents should also pay attention to exclude the factors of illness. If the sudden frequent touch penis, we should pay attention to check whether it is because of eczema or dermatitis; there is no redness or swelling; there is no where pain. Doctors have mentioned that some parents have taken their children for checkups and said that they often touch their penis when they pee, and then the checkup revealed that it was cystitis. So the child will be painful after peeing, before pinching the penis. 9.Hard lumps on the penis? That’s foreskin scale Sometimes parents will find that their child’s foreskin is like something in it, and it’s hard to touch. This is most likely circumcision. Because the child’s foreskin is attached to the glans, it is easy to hide dirt in the crevice. The best thing to do is to ignore it or see a urologist when there is a foreskin. 10. Be careful when going to the pool The number of visits to the doctor because of glans circumcision increases when the weather is hot. When asked if they went to the pool, most of them answer “yes” with a surprised face. The culprit of glans circumcision is the water in the pool. The school pool is a little better, but the pools in amusement parks and parks have a lot of cresol and other disinfectants in them. And because of the evaporation of water vapor in summer, the concentration of disinfectants will increase. So the child’s penis was hit. After coming up from the pool, immediately rinse the body with water and put on new underwear basically will not cause the above situation. But wearing swim trunks directly to play may cause problems, so please pay attention to your mother. In addition, some children have sensitive skin, and wearing underwear with residual detergent and bleach can cause skin problems, so it is best for parents to use soap and other detergents instead. 11. Everyone grows up while peeing their pants. When babies are wearing diapers, they pee when they want to. However, when you start to use the toilet on your own, it is impossible to do it completely when you are asked not to pee your pants. In the process of toilet training, failure requires gentle encouragement. Children grow up while wetting their pants, as do you and I. Even children who have stopped wetting their pants may wet the bed and wet their pants because of the birth of a sibling or because they are frightened. Occasionally, it is normal for children to wet their beds and pants when they are in the first or second grade, so adults should be patient. 12.How long do parents have to help their children take care of their penises? On this point, mothers really do not need to worry, the children will naturally tell you when the time comes. When the child does not want you to help clean the penis and does not want to show you is the time to stop. Just teach your child to take care of it on his or her own. Of course this point in time is different for each child, but try letting your child do it on their own from early childhood until around early elementary school.
