Foreskin stenosis

Foreskin stenosis's disease overview

What is

What is the foreskin narrow ? The foreskin stenosis (films) indicates the stenosis of the end of the foreskin, cannot completely pull out from the foreskin.

Between the foreskin and the foreskin, there is a moisturizer layer with lubricating effect to help the foreskin easily slip into nature. In this fluid, there are epithelial cells of the foreskin peeling off and accumulating the formation of white patches called genital plaques. The genital plaque is easily washed when the foreskin slipped down. If these white patches are not cleaned, it can cause inflammation of the baby's genitalia.

Causes of Foreskin stenosis's disease

Is the foreskin stenosis ? Based on the cause, foreskin stenosis is divided into two forms: physiology and pathology

Physiological foreskin stenosis: Most of the cases, a normal phenomenon in male infants. Just born, children are not able to protect the genitals, then the foreskin case is responsible for this responsibility by covering and sticking to the glans. However, this temporary narrow situation will disappear when children grow up, within the first few years, the case will slip down and reveal the penis glans.

Pathological foreskin stenosis: less common, a real narrowing condition due to scarring causing circumcision. Scarring may be caused by congenital or caused by inflammation.

Symptoms of Foreskin stenosis's disease

Boys with symptoms of urination such as urinating to push, blush when urinating, foreskin

swelling ...

Parents can detect when the baby's foreskin shows signs of inflammation (swelling, heat, redness, pain), pus or abnormal fluid

Is the foreskin stenosis dangerous ? Without timely intervention, foreskin narrowing in children may leave unfortunate consequences on the health of children. What is the effect of foreskin to children?

Foreskin inflammation: When the foreskin is stenosis, the dead cells peel off under the foreskin combined with the residues during the urinating process. Create an ideal environment for bacteria to grow and cause inflammation, redness and juicy at the tip of the penis

Inflammation of urethritis: If the narrow foreskin is not clean, it will create conditions for bacteria to multiply and grow. These bacteria cause inflammation on the foreskin, penis and are easy to invade into the urethra. In more severe cases, bacteria can move upstream causing cystitis, nephritis.

Gulpedes: occurred when the foreskin after pulling slipped back but could not pull back. When the penis is erect, the foreskin still covers the penis around the penis, causing clogged foreskin, causing blood circulation to produce swelling of the foreskin, serious can lead to glans necrosis.

Prevention of Foreskin stenosis's disease

Over time, the foreskin will slip out when a child is about 1 year old, most will be normal when a child is 4 years old, a few cases later until puberty.

Parents and caregivers need to know how to clean children, to prevent inflammation causing pathological foreskin stenosis.

infants and young children: need to be replaced regularly, avoid diaper rash and create a favorable environment for bacteria to grow. Parents need to make a checkup and genitals when bathing every day.

Do not try to make a strong foreskin of the child because it can cause damage, bleeding, will create scarring easily leads to pathological foreskin later. >

Parents should only gently pull the child's foreskin down to clean. After cleaning and drying, parents remember to pull the foreskin back to normal, covering the head of the penis, otherwise it will cause a foreskin- a serious complication that requires the intervention of the doctor. .

When children are older, parents need to guide children how to self -hygiene genitals
