How to clean a circumcised penis?
Question:
Answers:
I fell sorry for your son that your have mutilated his penis when it is unnecessary and most likely without his consent. Maybe you should have thought about the problems you would have by getting it done. Not to mention the things you have robbed him of for his adult life. namely a more sensitive NATURAL penis that it they way is was made.
And the doctor/nurse didn't show you how?
You can help make your baby feel comfortable and heal more quickly by:
Gently washing the penis with warm water after each diaper change. Soap is not recommended. Do not attempt to remove the film that forms on the penis. This film will go away on its own. Pat dry.
Applying petroleum jelly (such as Vaseline) liberally to raw areas on the head and/or shaft of the penis during each diaper change. The petroleum jelly prevents the scab from sticking to the diaper.
Making sure diapers are fastened loosely to decrease irritation of the penis.
Call your doctor immediately if your circumcised baby:
Is younger than 3 months of age and has a fever.
Develops signs of infection of the penis or around the circumcision site. Signs may include severe swelling, redness, a red streak on the shaft of the penis, or a thick, yellow discharge.
Bleeds more than the doctor said to expect or has a bloodstained area larger than the size of a bottle cap on his diaper or on the circumcision site dressing.
Is extremely fussy or irritable, has a high-pitched cry, or refuses to eat.
Has not passed urine within 12 hours after the circumcision was completed.
