Patient's question:
My baby is now 18 days old. Over the past two days, I've noticed that the right side of his testicles is turning blue. There's still a remnant of the umbilical cord. What could be causing the blue discoloration of the testicles?Doctor's answer:
Your child's scrotum has again developed a bluish discoloration locally. How was the local area struck? If there are no trauma conditions, it's not a major issue, and careful observation can be implemented. The navel discharge indicates that the umbilical stump has been infected by bacteria, leading to neonatal umbilical inflammation. The local area can be cleaned thoroughly with hydrogen peroxide, followed by applying povidone-iodine twice a day. Prevent urine, feces, and industrial pollution from contaminating the area. The above suggestions are for the question "What is the reason for the bluish discoloration of my baby's scrotum?" and are hoped to be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
