Is it normal for a seven-year-old girl to have secretions in her underwear?

Girls usually don't start to have discharge until they are around twelve or thirteen years old, but is it normal for a seven year old girl to have discharge in her underwear? This issue needs to be viewed from many aspects. Some girls suffer from vaginitis because they do not change their underwear in time. It is even common to suffer from vaginitis due to incorrect ways of wiping the buttocks. Therefore, parents must correctly guide their children to do a good job of cleaning.

In fact, the symptoms of vaginitis in children are generally similar to those in adults, with symptoms such as itching, redness and swelling, accompanied by secretions on the underwear and some changes in color. For little girls who have not yet entered puberty, if they find secretions on their underwear, it is abnormal and they should see a gynecologist in time. If they just think that washing can solve the problem, this idea is wrong. Washing will delay the disease and turn it into a chronic inflammation.

So how do children get vaginitis? In fact, infants are more susceptible to vaginitis. Children excrete urine and other excretions every day. If diapers and underwear are not changed in time, it is more likely to cause infection. For example, some children do not develop correct wiping habits after defecation, and the vulva is often contaminated by feces, leading to inflammation. Children do not often wear pants and are in more direct contact with the outside environment. If parents do not pay attention to disinfecting their children's hands regularly, children will be more likely to be infected by germs if they scratch their vulva directly. Therefore, it is recommended not to wash children’s personal items too frequently, but they should be washed once a day to take preventive measures.

In fact, when children are young, being curious about their reproductive organs is a necessary stage. During the child's growth process, parents should popularize corresponding physiological knowledge according to the child's growth stage, so as to avoid many accidents. In order to prevent this kind of situation from happening, what issues should parents pay attention to? The first point is to do a good job in ideological education and health knowledge popularization for children; as children continue to grow, there will be many differences in the bodies of boys and girls. As parents, we should do a good job in popularizing sex education for our children so that they will not do these ignorant and dangerous things out of curiosity. The second point is to be a careful parent and be good at discovering abnormal behavior of children; strengthen supervision of children and do not easily put things that are not suitable for children to play in the children's field of vision. This will prevent children from accidentally contracting vaginitis.

While parents are taking care of their babies, they need to pay more attention to their children's health. We hope that every child can grow up healthy and happy and have a wonderful childhood. When you find that your child has abnormal conditions, especially yellow pus or brown discharge from the vagina, do not treat the child at home by yourself. Send the child to a specialist in a children's hospital in time to avoid delaying the child's condition.
