Pay attention to male reproductive health

Parents generally pay more attention to the reproductive health of girls, but for boys, they often think it is not important. Actually, this is not right. When the boy was a child, the penis foreskin was covered by the glans. Not only high temperature and high humidity, but also because urine is blocked by foreskin, it is easy to cause bacterial reproduction and foreskin inflammation. Due to the unclean state in the long reproductive health period, there are white scales in the foreskin, which is not only harmful to reproductive health, but also may cause cancer. Therefore, boys should also develop the habit of cleaning the lower body, especially the glans penis.

In early childhood, parents should always gently open the foreskin, expose the glans, and then rinse with clean warm water. When cleaning, the action should be light; There is no need to use drugs or liquids or soaps containing pharmaceutical ingredients. It should be noted that the foreskin should be turned over very gently. Boys whose foreskin is too tight or too narrow at birth should not turn over forcibly to avoid trauma or phimosis incarceration. If the child has difficulty turning over, he should go to the hospital to take timely measures for phimosis before going to school at the age of 4-6.

Mumps is a common disease in children. In recent years, due to timely vaccination, the incidence rate has been greatly reduced, but there are still sporadic cases in some areas. This disease is often accompanied by meningitis and orchitis. The disease is a virus infection, often accompanied by fever, parotid gland swelling and other symptoms. Febrile drugs have no effect at the initial stage of the disease. This disease is an infectious disease with a history of contact. The fever temperature of the disease is generally above 39 degrees Celsius, and the hemogram examination is contrary to bacterial infection, showing leukopenia. Once these characteristics appear, antiviral drugs or Chinese herbal medicines for clearing away heat and toxic materials should be used as soon as possible to prevent complications as much as possible. Testitis caused by mumps often destroys the function of germ cells in testis, leading to spermatogenesis disorder. Many azoospermia patients are caused by mumps.

Common sperm loss and sperm quality decline. However, most of these cases have the opportunity to restore their reproductive function. But some azoospermia is a headache, because among these patients, some male diseases can be found and treated in childhood, but there is no chance of cure in adulthood. Therefore, male reproductive health care should be paid attention to from an early age.

Testis is an important reproductive organ of boys. Its main function is to produce sperm and androgen. Whether its function is normal or not determines whether the boy's sexual function and fertility are normal when he grows up. After the baby boy is born, parents should consciously observe the child's scrotum to see if there are two small testicles the size of peanuts. Touch it gently, because the testicles are full of pain. The slightest movement will bring pain. Be careful not to touch the testicles. Generally speaking, about 3% of boys' testicles do not fall into the scrotum after birth, and they do not fall into the scrotum until 1-2 months after birth. If the testicles in the scrotum are still missing three months after the baby boy is born, he should go to the hospital for examination, because it may be cryptorchidism, which will affect the fertility in the future. Don't underestimate cryptorchidism, it will not only lead to infertility, but also induce testicular tumors. Cryptorchidism is not terrible. As long as surgical measures are taken in time, you can sit back and relax.

Boys are naughty and active when they are young, and it is easy to hurt their testicles, so we should pay enough attention to them. In clinical surgery, cases of scrotum and testis injuries are common. It is a barrier between scrotum and testis, and has many functions such as protection, support, suspension and temperature regulation. Protecting scrotum is an important part of protecting testis. It is worth emphasizing that scrotum has a unique function of regulating body temperature, which is unmatched by any organ of human body. When the outside temperature rises, the scrotal skin becomes as thin as paper and quickly dissipates heat; When the outside temperature drops, the scrotal skin shrinks, which has a good heat preservation effect.

The temperature in the scrotum is almost constant, always around 33 degrees Celsius. This temperature is 3~4 degrees Celsius lower than the body temperature, which is the most suitable physiological condition for testicular development and spermatogenesis after puberty. It can also be said that maintaining such a temperature is a physiological need and a reproductive need. Some parents don't know this truth, for fear that their children will be frozen. They often wrap the boy's genitals too tightly, which is very unfavorable for maintaining the normal function of the testicles. Some parents like to take a hot bath and often take their children to take a bath together. This is very wrong. Too high water temperature is very dangerous, because little boys can't stand this temperature, which often brings trouble to their later childbearing. Under normal circumstances, you can take a bath properly, and don't soak in water above 33 degrees Celsius for a long time, so as not to bring trouble to the later delivery.
