What is the cause of vulvitis in young girls?

Many parents believe that girls do not need to pay attention to private hygiene when they are young. This view is wrong. Due to the negligence of some parents, some girls suffer from vulvitis when they are young, which is very uncomfortable, so they all want to know the cause of the disease. So what is the cause of vulvitis in young girls? This is a question that many parents and friends want to know. Here is a brief introduction for you.

What is the cause of vulvitis in young girls?

1. Poor local hygiene of the vulva

Parents of children with the disease do not pay attention to the cleanliness of their children's vulva, handle bowel movements improperly, or wipe the anus with contaminated paper, allowing intestinal bacteria to invade the vagina and cause vaginitis.

2. Foreign objects inserted into the vagina

If peanuts, beans, hairpins, pins, small stones, etc. are inserted into the vagina, the vaginal epithelium may be damaged due to foreign objects, leading to secondary infection.

3. Pinworm vulvovaginitis

(1) Intestinal pinworms are transmitted into the vagina through feces, causing inflammation.

(2) Improper fecal handling can cause pinworm eggs to contaminate the vulva of young girls through people or objects, causing inflammation.

4. Secondary vulvar and vaginitis

When a young girl has an upper respiratory tract infection or urinary tract infection, bacteria can be transmitted directly into the vagina through dust and cause infection.

5. Specific vaginitis

Trichomonas or candidal vaginitis is rare in infants and young children. This may be because the vaginal pH of infants and young children is alkaline, which is not suitable for fungal reproduction. Trichomonas feeds on glycogen. At this age, there is very little glycogen in the vagina, so it is not suitable for the growth of Trichomonas. Hemophagocytic vaginitis is extremely rare in infants and young children.

The above is a brief introduction to the causes of vulvitis in young girls. Now parents and friends understand it! For young girls, it is also necessary to keep their private parts healthy. The same is true for boys. It is important to maintain hygiene. Parents and friends must pay attention, keeping children clean is crucial to their health.
