Moms of tiny men sometimes notice with horror that on the head of the penis appeared whitish discharge, having a specific smell. This mixture of secretion of sebaceous glands, moisture and dead cells of the epithelium accumulates in the sac in the foreskin. The formation of smegma in boys is an absolutely natural and natural process that is observed in all mammals. To further reassure moms, smegma translates as "sebum". A small amount of smegma in a child is normal, but there are exceptions.
Smegmatite, phimosis and other troubles of little men
If the concentration of smegma in a child between the leaves of the foreskin exceeds the norm, then it can multiply pathogenic microorganisms. The foreskin becomes inflamed, the head turns red. So the accumulation of smegma in boys turns into smeglalite. In the event that the child has phimosis, the situation requires urgent medical attention, which will tell you how to remove the smegma and save the baby from discomfort.
To understand the essence of the problem, Mom needs to know that before the baby was born, the head and foreskin developed as a single soldered tissue. Only after the boy's birth, they begin to gradually separate. Cells dying off during separation are the same infant smigma that leads the mother to pre-infarction. It is gradually removed through the hole in a natural way. It is worth noting that infant smegma with an adult has nothing in common. It may take ten years until the tissues are completely separated. It is important to realize that this is normal, does not require intervention and, even more so, treatment.
Guards parents should not itself smegma, and other symptoms, which include inflammation when urinating the skin on the penis, edema of the foreskin or its redness. In this case stagnation of smegma is a hotbed of infection and it must be eliminated.
Treatment and prevention
If you have the symptoms described above, do not attempt to open the head yourself. Such treatment of stagnation of smegma in boys can lead not only to severe pain, but also to bleeding, followed by fusion of the flesh. The surgeon will do this safely, quickly and efficiently. An infant of this may not feel at all, and older children quickly forget about the pain. Mom after this procedure will have several more days to wash the child's member after each urination.
Another method is circumcision of the foreskin (circumcision). Doctors have long come to the conclusion that this is a very useful procedure for men's health, but in today's world circumcision is more likely associated with the national customs and culture of the family in which the child grows.
To avoid problems with the intimate zones of the newborn boy, one should take care of his hygiene from the first day. No special means are required - ordinary water and baby soap is enough. If you sum up all of the above three words, then "leave the baby alone". Forget about perfume, antiseptics and washing the head under a strong stream of water. In the future, the care of the boy about the penis will become a habit along with brushing his teeth and washing his hands.
Often, troubles from the accumulated under the flesh of the smogma occur in adolescence, while neglecting the rules of intimate hygiene. It is this cause leads to the appearance of infections that affect the sexual organs. If you comply with all the recommendations and rules, then the danger to the health of boys is not a smog.
