What should I do if the little girl's lower body itches?

Most people think that only women are affected by gynecological diseases, but in fact, many little girls in life now also experience itching in their lower body. At this time, you should pay attention to whether it is caused by urethritis or the child's poor quality clothes rubbing against the genitals.

1. Pinworm disease . If the mother wants to judge, she can look carefully to see if there are any insects crawling out at night.

2. Urethritis , which is probably related to poor personal hygiene habits. Parents may not pay attention when wiping their children's feces, allowing the feces to contaminate the urethra and cause bacterial infection. If you suspect this is the case, it is best to do a urine test.

3. The clothes are of poor quality, not made of pure cotton, or are too hard, rubbing against the genitals and causing itching. Although some clothes may say they are made of 100% cotton, they may feel rough and have a pungent smell. Mothers should make rational choices. Some mothers like to pick up other children's old clothes, but it should be noted that some clothes have aged fibers and become stiff fabrics after being washed many times, so such clothes should be worn with caution.

4. Vaginorectal fistula. This is a relatively rare congenital malformation that can cause repeated urinary tract infections and vaginitis, causing discomfort in the child's genitals.

5. Other diseases : such as skin allergies, various infectious vaginitis, trauma, etc.

Since 3-year-old children are too young to accurately describe their symptoms, it is best for parents to take their children to a regular hospital to see a specialist. In this case, it is not appropriate to see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor or a dermatologist. You should first go to a pediatrician and then consider referral to other related departments based on the pediatrician's opinion. Parents should check at home whether their children have itching during the day and whether the urethral opening is red. The diet can be adjusted appropriately and lighter meals can be given. You can also take a sitz bath with potassium permanganate (PP powder) to see if there is any improvement.
