Babies need care in their genitals,depending on their sex, as is the case with children (males) must take somespecial care at the time of their diapers changed, especially if we think thatyour penis is a sensing member which is in contact with urine.
We have two types of carespecifically, when the penis is uncircumcised, and when not.
Care of the circumcised penis: If you want your child to practicecircumcision, probably will make the second or third day of life, unlessdelayed for religious reasons, after the intervention, he bandaged the glansVaseline impregnated gauze, usually this dressing will fall the first time thechild urinates, some pediatricians suggest further bandaging the penis, untilit heals completely, while others leave it exposed pediatricians recommend.
The most important thing is tokeep the surgical area as clean as possible, If the penis becomes soiled withfeces, wash it very gently with soap and water when you change the diaper. Thetip of the penis can be quite red for the first few days and may secrete ayellowish fluid: Both indicate that the glans is healing well. In the weeksfollowing this will be phased out, if the redness persists, the penis swellsand yellowish crusts, it is possible you are infected, is quite rare if youhave the necessary health care, but if you suspect a possible infection Pleaseconsult with your pediatrician.
Care of the uncircumcised penis: During the first few days youshould clean your child's penis with soap and water just like the rest of thearea is covered by the diaper. At first, the foreskin is attached to the glansor head of the penis, so you should not try to separate them. No need to washthe penis with cotton swabs or any antiseptic, but you should watch your babyurine from time to time and ensure that the hole of the foreskin is largeenough to enable it without problems.
If the hole passes only a trickleof urine or think your child has discomfort consult your pediatrician. Thedoctor will tell you when to separate the foreskin from the glans, and thereforecan be retracted smoothly. This may take place several years old. When separationoccurred, would occasionally retract the foreskin to clean the tip of the peniswhen it is covered by it. As your child stop wearing diapers, you must teach ithimself, so you can urinate and have the penis clean.
