Patient's question:
My baby is one year old and a boy. From birth until now, he has been using diapers day and night. I heard from others that this might affect future fertility issues. Is that true?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the problems that arise after using diapers for babies, such as those mentioned above, actually, many diapers are not entirely made of paper. The sponge and fibers in the inner layer, although they have a certain adhesive effect, can cause certain damage to the delicate skin of infants with long-term use, making it easier to develop diaper rash and urinary tract infections. Additionally, using diapers during the day can affect a baby's ability to move and learn to walk. Long-term use can lead to leg rashes. It is better to reduce the use of diapers and opt for pure cotton or medical gauze instead.
