Because many parents do not pay attention to these things, the little girl develops vulvitis. So what is the cause of vulvitis in girls? This is what many parents and friends want to know.

What is the cause of vulvitis in girls?

The cause of vulvitis in children may be that infants and young children wear open-crotch pants, which can easily be contaminated if they do not pay attention to hygiene. If the baby's diaper is not changed in time, it will cause urination and defecation irritation, which can cause skin infection, acute infectious disease, reduced systemic resistance, local uncleanliness, and easy infection. The pathogenic bacteria are mostly pyogenic bacteria, such as Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, and Escherichia coli.

(1) Poor local hygiene of the vulva. The mothers and childcare staff do not pay attention to the cleanliness of the children's vulva, do not handle the bowel movements properly, or use highly irritating soaps and detergents, do not use pH4 feminine care liquid to clean the vulva, or wipe the anus with contaminated paper, allowing intestinal bacteria to invade the vagina and cause vaginitis.

(2) Foreign objects such as peanuts, beans, hairpins, pins, small stones, etc. are inserted into the vagina. Due to the damage to the vaginal epithelium caused by the foreign objects, secondary infection occurs.

(3) Pinworm vulvovaginitis is not common under normal circumstances. It is caused by intestinal pinworms being transmitted into the vagina through feces; or by improper feces handling, which allows pinworm eggs to contaminate the young girl's vulva through the hands, clothes, toys, etc. of the baby's mother or childcare staff, causing inflammation.

(IV) Secondary vulvar and vaginitis: After a young girl has an upper respiratory tract infection or a urinary tract infection, bacteria are directly transmitted into the vagina through dust and cause infection.

The above is a brief introduction to the causes of vulvitis in girls. I hope it can help everyone. Good hygiene habits are very effective in preventing some diseases. Especially for more vulnerable children, good hygiene habits are very necessary, and parents must pay attention to this.
