News Topical, Digital Desk : Whenever a baby is born, diapers are always on the shopping list for that newborn. Diapering children has become a necessity for every parent these days, especially when there's a lot of work to do at home or when they need diapers while traveling. But along with this, a fear has also grown among parents. Does prolonged diapering really have a negative impact on a child's kidneys? This question and related misinformation are going viral on all social media platforms, leaving every parent perplexed as to the truth behind these claims.
Do diapers really damage a child's kidneys?
A recent viral claim on social media platforms claims that diapers negatively impact a child's kidneys. This claim is completely false. According to doctors, the kidneys are located deep within our bodies, surrounded by a layer of muscle. When we put diapers or any other clothing on a child, they cannot reach the kidneys under any circumstances. Therefore, this claim is completely baseless.
How can kidneys get damaged?
Diaper rash: Prolonged wet diapers can cause red, irritated, and damaged skin. But this is a skin problem, not a kidney problem.
Urinary tract infection (UTI): A bacterial infection of the urinary tract, most commonly affecting the bladder. This is a purely bacterial infection, and symptoms vary with age in children.
