Patient's question:
The baby has been wearing diapers for the past two days, and I've noticed that the testicles, apart from the penis, are always damp and sticky. It might be because they're not being changed frequently enough. What are the potential downsides for the baby? Will this affect their subsequent growth and development?Doctor's answer:
Generally, it does not affect growth and development. It is best to use pure cotton diapers as much as possible to avoid excessive moisture. It is recommended that you give your baby more water and also try some pear soup with rock sugar, while keeping the external genital area clean and washing with warm water. Wear pure cotton underwear and ensure good ventilation as much as possible. After urination and defecation, make sure to wash properly. Testicular conditions can be recurrent, requiring long-term oral medication. For male patients, it is important to seek medical attention at a professional and reputable hospital immediately. Treatment should be considered based on the results of a thorough examination.
