Patient's question:
[This morning, Zhou noticed greenish-yellow stains on a dry diaper. Upon examination, the glans was red and had white discharge, but there was no pain. Treatment history and effectiveness: It was discovered this morning and has not yet been treated. What help is desired: Is it a reproductive disease?]Doctor's answer:
There are white secretions, indicating local inflammation and infection, with excessive smegma! Smegma refers to the accumulation of dirt in the foreskin area, as when the penis is not erect, the foreskin is folded and shrunk, allowing it to trap a lot of debris. If the child already has long foreskin and phimosis and does not pay attention to hygiene, they may easily develop local inflammation and infection! For inflammation, you can use Jieryin liquid for external cleaning and gently wipe the smegma with damp cotton swabs, then apply Bacitracin ointment or erythromycin eye ointment. A common cause of smegma is an overly long foreskin, so to treat this, methods such as circumcision can be considered. Smegma can lead to white secretions on the penis, and this secretion may have a rather unpleasant odor. Therefore, if you have the above symptoms, pay attention to whether you may have smegma. You can take the child to the surgery department for examination to check for phimosis. If phimosis is present, further surgical treatment should be considered based on the child's age.
