Patient's question:
Accidentally pulled the baby's penis, it swelled up, and after a few days it went down without medication. I noticed that the front part of the penis is, slightly larger than the penis, similar in shape to the glans. It's been two weeks now and it's still like this. What could be the reason? Will it affect growth and development?Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described, a one-month-old baby has had his genital area pulled and is now experiencing swelling at the tip of the penis. In this case, the first consideration should be balanitis caused by trauma, primarily requiring local treatment and resolution. It is recommended to clean the area with clean water, then use a hairdryer to dry it, followed by povidone-iodine for repeated local sterilization. The above is advice for this issue, and we hope it helps. Wishing you good health!
