Patient's question:
The baby is 2 years old. Recently, when changing the diaper, I noticed one or two white, grain-like substances. Sometimes it's one, sometimes two. Sometimes on the penis, sometimes on the testicles. I clean the baby every day, but I haven't found any area that hasn't been washed. What could be the reason, and is it urgent?Doctor's answer:
Here is the English translation of the provided text, with the return characters kept as they are:To prove the baby has phimosis, this is the smegma. It is necessary to retract the foreskin to expose the glans and coronal sulcus, do this once a day, and clean the glans and coronal sulcus with clean water. Otherwise, it is easy for the urethral opening to become infected and narrowed due to the accumulation of smegma, which can lead to difficulties in urination and ejaculation in the future. This may result in poor penile development and shortness. If retracted until the age of ten, a local anesthesia circumcision can be performed without interfering with anything. If the surgery is performed now under general anesthesia, it will have an impact on the baby's body and be more expensive.
