Mom needs to know how to clean the vaginal area for boys
While it's not as complicated for boys to clean their genitals as girls, you need to do it right so that the baby doesn't get infected.
If your baby's penis is not circumcised , you need to know how to care until he learns to clean himself. The foreskin needs to be cleaned at the time of the bath. During the first few months, you just need to clean the outside of the penis when bathing or changing diapers. However, as your baby gets older, you need to take careful care to avoid infection. Here are a few things to keep in mind when taking care of your baby's uncircumcised penis.
1. Clean the tip of the penis
Some doctors recommend that when bathing your baby, you do not need to clean the inside of the foreskin because the skin is very soft, which can cause pain. Use your fingers to clean the tip of the penis with soap and water. The skin covering the outside of the penis must be cleaned. It takes a while for this skin to slip off, so if pulled too hard it could lead to bleeding.
2. Clean the foreskin when the child is 5 years old
By the time your baby is 5 years old, you can see the foreskin slipping off the tip of the penis. At this stage, you can teach your child that cleansing the foreskin has many health benefits. This separation may take a certain time. Some babies take weeks, while others take months.
3. Clean the penis after the foreskin slips off
After the foreskin has completely slipped off, you need to help your baby clean his "boy" regularly. A layer of dead skin is accumulated in the lower foreskin. As a result, a white fluid is formed. This is a normal thing and you don't have to worry about it. However, the child needs to remove the foreskin to clean the lower part. It is necessary to clean the tip of the penis to prevent infection.
4. Use cleaning agent properly
When cleaning the "little boy" , you need to use a suitable cleaning agent, regular soap and warm water. Do not try other detergents or soaps as it may irritate the skin. You need to take off the foreskin and wipe it clean, then roll it up in place.
Normally, the foreskin can easily separate and return to its original position. When cleaning, you may notice something unusual. In these cases, consult a doctor.
5. Symptoms should be careful
You should contact your doctor for advice in case you notice little discharge in your child's urine, bulging foreskin like bubbles, swollen, red and itchy foreskin. Keep track of these symptoms and get them to the doctor as soon as possible to avoid infection.
