“Ochinchin classroom” where moms gather September 4 at 18:24

More and more mothers, especially mothers, are worried about their children ’s cocks, and there are many classrooms that give advice.
“How should I care?”
“Is it better to peel it?”
The fact that the father cannot give advice to such mother's questions seems to be a factor in the classroom. What is going on around the cock?

Classroom where mothers gather

"Please take the root part down gently. Rinse the tip part with a shower."

This is a condominium room in Tokyo. “Ochinchin Care Class” was held.
We gathered six pairs of mothers in their 20s and 30s and their boys.
Most children are under 1 year old.

The instructor will carefully teach you what the structure is and how to wash and care using models and drawings.
I asked my moms why they tried to participate.

Uneasy to ask her husband

“When I wash my cock in the bath, I do n’t know the right way, and I ’m doing it in a hazy manner. I want to know what to do.”

“I have been worried about how to care since I was pregnant, but when I talked to my husband, I felt like“ I should make it natural, I ’m going to do it. ”

Many mothers say “anxiety” or “scary”.
I don't know what to do ... But my husband can't count on.
It seems to participate with such a thought.

What is “Peeling Gymnastics”?

There are many similar voices of anxiety from mothers on SNS.
The question that often comes up is “whether or not it is peeled”.

“I ask the boy ’s mom, are you doing gymnastic exercises?”
“What should I do if I do gymnastic exercises?”

Dr. Kenya Iwamuro, Atsugi City Hospital, Kanagawa Prefecture, spread the topic of gymnastics.

Newborn babies are "uncut (true uncut)" whose male genitals are covered with foreskin and the glans is not visible. "Peel" the foreskin.

In other words, it is “peeling gymnastics” that you can slide down so that you can see the glans and then put it back.

According to Dr. Iwamuro, most people don't turn up well at first, but repeat it little by little when changing diapers or taking a bath, etc. About 20 times at a time, it says that it will gradually go away.

I (reporter) also thought that it was normal for me to start as a junior high school student from the upper grades of elementary school based on various experiences.

“If the foreskin is natural until the foreskin peels off naturally, it will tend to become inflamed due to the buildup between the foreskin and the head of the tortoise or the entry of germs” (Dr. Iwamuro)

It is said that there are cases where this gymnastic pain causes the baby to cry, and some blood bleeds. Honestly, I feel sorry ...

“If you are in pain, don't force yourself. It ’s important to get used to it. It ’s easier to do it when you are a baby because it ’s often hateful when you ’re about two years old. ""
“If left untreated, the head of the turtle will become congested and swollen, and if it does not return, go to the nearby urology department immediately” (Dr. Iwamuro)

Rapidly spreading “peeling exercises”

This “Peeling Gymnastics”.
Through public health nurses, booklets are being distributed to parents who are raising children, and magazines are becoming featured in magazines.

According to Dr. Iwamuro, the mother is the most interested.
When asked by his father, he says that he will not be able to deal with it seriously, so he often searches on the Internet, knows about reviews and starts.

Even if you don't, does it change?

On the other hand, some doctors say that it does n’t change whether or not they do “peeling exercises”.
I am Eiji Ishikawa, director of the Ishikawa Clinic in Kobe.

“At the time of puberty, the male genitals grow, and the male hormone stimulates the skin, so that the foreskin and glans are peeled off and can be flipped and peeled by hand. (Dr. Ishikawa)

In fact, Dr. Ishikawa himself used to instruct children to peel their foreskins.

However, over a period of about 20 years, a study was conducted on 524 uncut boys aged 0 to 18 who visited their clinic, etc., and the idea changed.

Analysis of changes in the degree of phimosis in 114 patients who have been followed for more than one year. A comparison of children who trained gymnastics and children who did not give special treatment without guidance,
▽ 89% of the instructors
▽ 84% of those who did nothing,
As a result, the degree to which the foreskin can be peeled has increased.

In other words, there was no big difference.

“I'm worried that I will become a trauma because of pain when I try to forcibly. I have my merits and demerits, but I stopped teaching my foreskin at my hospital when I was young.

Children are no longer learning from the people around them

Does it not change if you do it or not?
I asked Dr. Iwamuro again.

Dr. Iwamuro says that when I was a child, I recommended “peeling gymnastics” not only for the prevention of illness, but also for the environment surrounding the sex of adolescent children.

“A lot of junior high school students are receiving emails about consultation about phimosis. There may be an image that sexual knowledge is abundant due to the development of SNS, but that is not necessarily the case. "
"I don't talk to people who are close to me because I don't want to show my weakness. I don't know, so I'm looking online. There are sites that are biased or recommend unnecessary phimosis surgery."
“There was also a person who was over 30 years old without knowing to peel, and when he got married, the pain was severe and became impotence. Of course, there is a risk of not doing anything. (Dr. Iwamuro)

With great interest

As for whether or not to do “peeling gymnastics”, it seems that the opinions are divided among doctors and there is no fixed opinion yet.

However, I think it is risky to leave the child to grow without any information, and it is first important that both mothers and fathers have the right knowledge about child genital care. I feel it.

In addition, when a husband consults with his wife, he does not let go of `` Okay, okay '' but rather listens seriously and tells him what he is uneasy about and how he thinks It may be important.

And ...
If you are a girl, you will often talk to your mother about your physiology when you are close to puberty. I don't think there is much to tell.

As fathers, mothers and children, we have to face seriously about chinchin and think together so as to eliminate anxiety.
I feel so with self-discipline.

We are reporting on boys' chinchin and worries about phimosis.
