BSCK2 Nguyen Van Phuc, Department of Andrology, 108 Central Military Hospital, said that the scalp is a thin layer of skin covering the head of the penis. In infants and young children, the bulbs are often slightly attached to the bulbs - a completely normal physiological phenomenon.
Statistics show that up to 90% of boys under 3 years old have not been able to completely lose their circumcils. This is not a sign of disease, but a stage of natural development. This sticking helps protect the head from bacteria, dirt in diapers and reduce the risk of inflammation.
Over time, under the impact of hormones and daily urination, the scrotum will gradually detach and may drop off on its own without intervention.
"Forced exfoliation in children under 3 years old can lead to many consequences: Pain and injury because the liophile at this age is often affected by physiological factors. Peeling without peeling naturally can cause pain, even tearing.
Risk of real scars and narrowing: When the skin is damaged and bleeding, a fibrotic scar can form, leading to a real scrotum narrowing or cramps later.
Infection: Scratch marks are the " gateway" for bacteria to In first place, causing colitis, urinary tract infections, affecting reproductive health.
Psychological effects: The painful experience can make children afraid to urinate, go to the toilet or later refuse to see a doctor," said Dr. Nguyen Van Phuc.
The doctor advised that parents do not need to worry if their children under 3 years old have not lost their quyopress. However, children should be taken to the doctor if they show signs of:
Severe difficulty, small urinary tract, bulging headaches when doing exercises;
Children cry and feel burning when urinating;
Coagulins with red, discharged, foul odor;
When they are old, the capabilities are still not separated or fallen off.
In these cases, the doctor will evaluate and give appropriate instructions, whether it is hygiene, gentle treatment or medical intervention when necessary.
Intervention should only be done when there are clear signs, such as: Real narrowing of the glans (stinying, not being able to drain); Recurrent inflammation after proper care; Signs of narrowing causing glans.
Attempting to remove the circumcils in children under 3 years old does not bring benefits, on the contrary, it also has the potential to affect the physical and mental health of children. Preeclampsia should be developed naturally according to physiology, and only intervene when prescribed by medical regulation.
