Can little girls have gynecological diseases?

When talking about gynecological diseases, everyone will think of middle-aged women. Indeed, according to clinical data, the vast majority of patients with gynecological diseases are women who have given birth. That means little girls and even infants are likely to suffer from gynecological diseases. Vaginitis in infants and young children and vaginitis in adolescent girls both fall into the category of gynecological diseases. These two diseases are not caused by their own sexual behavior, but by their incomplete physiological structure and unhealthy living habits.

1. Vaginitis in infants and young children.

I don’t know if you parents and friends have heard of vulvovaginitis in infants and young children. In fact, this is a very common gynecological disease in female infants and young children. Since the reproductive system of infants and young children is not fully developed, the estrogen level in the body is relatively low, and the immunity to external bacteria is definitely insufficient. Therefore, it is easy to cause infection due to poor hygiene. However, infants and young children have no way to call their parents or doctors to express their symptoms. The neglect caused by parents’ lack of understanding of the situation often delays the best time for treatment. It has a serious adverse impact on the growth of children.

2. The girl suffers from vaginitis.

In fact, girls suffer from vaginitis not because they have done something shameful. A teenage girl, if she does not pay special attention to personal hygiene, will actually get vaginitis. This is mainly because women's physiological structure is relatively special, and their reproductive system is directly connected to the outside world, so it is easy to be infected by bacteria. If the immunity is relatively good, the body can barely fight against the external bacteria, but if the immunity suddenly decreases, the bacteria in the body will begin to stir up trouble and affect the girl's health.

Precautions

For infants:

1. Choose diapers that are soft and breathable pure cotton;

2. Clean your baby's vulva 1 to 2 times a day;

3. Change the baby's diaper in time after the baby urinates or defecates;

4. Keep toiletries separate from those for adults.

For young children:

1. Try not to let children sit or lie on the ground to prevent external bacteria from invading;

2. Wear soft and comfortable crotchless pants as soon as possible, and avoid tight, synthetic pants;

3. Pay attention to the child's urination posture and do not let urine flow into the vagina;

4. Teach your child to use clean toilet paper when defecating and wipe from front to back to prevent the child from bringing feces into the vagina due to incorrect use;

5. When washing children's underwear, be sure to separate it from adults' and other clothes.
