Girl's vagina is red and itchy

Because babies are relatively small and are completely raised under care, mothers must be particularly careful when taking care of them, especially when taking care of baby girls. Due to the special physiological structure of baby girls, special attention should be paid to their private parts when taking care of them. If redness is found in the baby girl's private parts, she may have vaginitis and should be treated promptly.

1. Keep the vulva clean and dry to reduce friction. Don't wear open-crotch pants to reduce the chance of vulva being contaminated. Wash the vulva after urination and defecation, especially after defecation. Avoid using strong irritating soaps or bath gels. After cleaning, apply baby powder or zinc oxide powder to keep the area dry. During the acute phase, take a sitz bath 2 to 3 times a day. After the sitz bath, dry the genitals with a cloth and apply antibiotic ointment.

2. Choose the appropriate oral antibiotic treatment based on the pathogen, or use a straw to drip the antibiotic solution into the vagina.

3. Symptomatic treatment: For those with pinworms, give anthelmintic treatment; if there is a foreign body in the vagina, it should be removed promptly.

4. If the labia minora have formed adhesions but are still loose and not very tight, you can use your fingers to gently separate them symmetrically downward and outward after washing the vulva. Generally, they can be separated. After separation, apply antibiotic ointment to the wound every day to prevent re-adhesion until the epithelium grows well. If the adhesion is firm, a curved mosquito-type vascular forceps can be inserted through the small hole and then moved vertically backward to separate the translucent area. Apply antibiotics to the wound every day to prevent re-adhesion until the epithelium returns to normal.

1. Young girls should not wear open-crotch pants to reduce the chance of infection.

2. Parents should educate girls to develop good hygiene habits from an early age.

3. Girls should use their own basin for washing their hands and feet, and should not share it with their mothers.

4. Girls should use separate towels and bed sheets, and wash and dry them frequently, and iron them with boiling water.

6. When taking your children out for travel or to public places, do not use bathtubs casually and do not use unclean toilet towels or toilet paper.

7. If parents have sexually transmitted diseases, they should pay attention to isolation and disinfection to prevent the disease from being transmitted to their young daughters.

8. If a girl's reproductive organs are infected, she should be checked promptly. These diseases have specific medicines and can be cured as long as she persists in taking the medicines and pays attention to cleaning external factors.
