Nursing measures for infantile labia adhesion

Every child is born healthy, but many babies will be found to have labia adhesion after birth. First of all, this phenomenon makes many parents very anxious. They worry about their children’s future fertility and that it will affect their children’s future development and growth. So let us introduce what we should do if the baby’s labia adhesion occurs.

■ Improper use of hygiene products

Labia adhesions usually occur in children under two years old, and are mainly caused by acquired inflammatory stimulation. Such as parents' bad hygiene habits, local dampness and heat in overweight babies, intestinal parasites and foreign objects, etc. But why, now that living conditions have improved and parents are paying more attention to their children's hygiene, are there more and more cases of this kind?

Director Zheng Yuqiao said that labia adhesion can be considered a disease of the rich. In the past, children crawled around in open-crotch pants, and their little butts had more time to ventilate. Today's baby care products such as wet wipes, diaper creams, diapers, etc. seem to be more hygienic, but if used improperly, they may lead to a high incidence of inflammation.

Let’s talk about diapers first. They are much less troublesome than cloth diapers, but some parents want to save even more trouble. They put them on their children and never take them off until urine seeps out before changing them. Humidity itself can irritate the skin, and the ammonia produced by urine is also harmful. If this continues for a long time, the baby is prone to labia adhesion. Therefore, you should take at least half an hour every day to ventilate your baby's butt and expose it to the sun. Especially for fat babies with tight flesh, you should gently open it up a little to expose it to the sun.

As for wet wipes, it is also a way to save trouble. Babies urinate and defecate more than ten times a day. The mother can just take a wet wipe and wipe the little butt, and it will be "clean". However, although it looks clean, irritating spices and other chemical raw materials will remain on the delicate skin. Therefore, it is best not to use wet wipes, unless you use them occasionally outdoors, and you should choose those made of pure water. Pay attention to the direction when wiping the baby's butt. Girls must be wiped from front to back to avoid bringing feces and other debris and bacteria to the vulva. Be gentle.

There is no need to use diaper cream all the time. Applying it too thickly will cause the baby's local skin to breathe poorly, clog the pores, and cause inflammation over time.

The article learned about the baby's labia adhesion. First of all, this phenomenon brings great harm to the child and requires timely surgical treatment. Otherwise, it will cause the child to be unable to have sexual life and menstruation after adulthood.
