Young mothers are wary of caring for their boys, because they do not know all the subtleties. The husband can explain something to you, the doctor will clear up the main points. The main thing - do not deal with treatment without appointments! Remember that the physical, psychological, reproductive health of your son depends on the correctness of your actions. And this applies to all problems without exception.
Cryptorchidism
In Greek, this term means "hidden testicles," that is, located outside the scrotum - in the abdominal cavity or inguinal canal. Usually this ailment occurs in premature boys, when the testicles simply do not have time to descend to where it is necessary. Such a disease is very serious - it threatens infertility, because it is these organs that produce spermatozoa. Hurry to the doctor with childish penis diseases in boys.
What to do
There are two solutions: conservative or operational. Initially, to help the baby, of course, try without surgery. A good effect is relaxing fitovanny (how to do them at home, you will tell the doctor) and the procedures that are performed directly by a specialist (for example, kneading strained inguinal muscles, directing testicles into the scrotum). All these measures are necessary to ensure that the testicles are finally fixed in the right place. Karapuzu already a year, but nothing has changed? Probably, it is necessary to carry out operation on children's illnesses of a penis at boys.
During intrauterine development, there is sometimes a violation of the outflow of fluid between the shells of the testicles of the fetus. It is called dropsy, or hydrocele. Disease can be not only congenital, but also acquired (much less often). In the elderly, the disease causes inflammation, trauma to the organs of the scrotum.
What to do
First of all, you should put the exact diagnosis. In this urologist, special studies help. A method based on tissue transillumination. This study shows whether there is and how much accumulation of fluid between the testicles.
Test results speak of dropsy? Do not panic! If she is innate, then there is a chance that she will resolve herself before the year. The main thing here is the constant supervision of a specialist and ... careful care. When you put on a diaper, be careful that the rubber bands do not pinch the testicles. With the acquired illness often have to fight with the help of medications (based on the health of the child, they will be written by a doctor).
Narrowing of the foreskin, which does not allow completely exposing the head of the penis, is called physiological phimosis for children's penis diseases in boys. Often, this ailment does not require special treatment. Enough during bathing effortlessly remove the foreskin, so that it is washed and developed. But do not overdo it! Otherwise, cicatricial phimosis may occur (the appearance of cracks on the head of the penis) and will have to operate. Gradually, as the baby grows, the outer foramen of the foreskin becomes wider and the head is exposed more and more. But it happens that this process has to be accelerated. Why? The reason is the same care! It is very difficult to rinse the area between the foreskin and the glans penis well. And no, even the best, means for bathing babies do not help. There grease accumulates - smegma, which gradually turns into white grains. They make it difficult to urinate, lead to infection. The cavity of the foreskin increases, blushes (signs of inflammation), the baby cries when walking in a small way. Do not expect that everything will pass by itself! I need urgent help!
With a special tool, the doctor opens the foreskin, removes the secretion and treats the antiseptic solution. Then lubricates the head with an anti-inflammatory ointment and closes the foreskin. Home treatment is to hold baths with medicinal herbs (brew marigold, chamomile).
Balanoposthitis
Inflammation of the foreskin and glans penis may result from cicatricial phimosis or develop against the background of non-observance of the rules of personal hygiene, urethritis (inflammation of the urethra), cystitis (inflammation of the bladder), pyelonephritis (inflammation of the kidneys). The disease manifests itself by a number of symptoms. There are swelling, redness, pus, pain in the foreskin. Hurry up! The infection spreads!
A special probe, the pediatric urologist creates conditions for the outflow of accumulated pus, rinses the preputial cavity with a disinfectant solution. Most likely, the child will be prescribed antibacterial drugs in the form of ointments, gels, which after a certain period of time will need to be pawned in preputial space. Follow all the doctor's instructions. You'll see, your boy will feel better and he will quickly recover!
