What should I do if the baby's foreskin is tightly wrapped?

Patient's question:

Yesterday, the baby touched the cow and said he wasn't feeling well. I looked and felt that the glans was a bit swollen, but the foreskin was tightly wrapped around it. If I moved the baby, he said it hurt, but if I didn't move him, he played by himself very well. He's one year and eight months old, and he's never had this situation before.

Doctor's answer:

Hypospadias and phimosis in children can easily lead to balanitis and facilitate transmission. Therefore, it is recommended to regularly clean the foreskin with clear water and maintain hygiene. Additionally, applying rice water can help. This advice addresses the question "What should I do if my baby's foreskin is tightly wrapped?" and is hoped to be helpful. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
