What to do if a girl's lower body itches and hurts

Gynecological diseases do make many women worried. For some adult women, early detection and early treatment of gynecological diseases are very important. However, for many underage girls, who are still children, their lower body may become itchy and painful due to lack of attention. As a mother, you should pay attention to taking your children to the hospital for examination in time.

How can young children also get gynecological diseases?

Most people think that gynecological diseases only occur after menstruation, and they are very negligent in taking care of children in this regard. In fact, the physiological structure of women is the same, and if little girls do not pay attention to hygiene and protection, they may increase the chances of infection and injury.

"The most common clinical conditions are vulvovaginitis and injuries, which are closely related to exposure to polluted environments and poor hygiene habits." According to Ye Ming, some parents are in the habit of letting their children wear open-crotch pants, and girls are no exception. When children play on the ground in open-crotch pants, they are easily exposed to the contaminated environment directly, and they may also be scratched by sharp objects, causing injuries and infections. "I am most afraid that children are ignorant and put small objects like paper clips and metal buckles into their vaginas when playing. We have seen this before. It is also possible that a child sits on the ground naked and there happens to be a small toy on the ground, and when they sit down, it accidentally goes into their vagina."

There are also some factors that can cause little girls to be infected with vulvovaginitis. For example, some children have pinworms in their stomachs. After sleeping at night, the pinworms crawl out and move around the anus and perineum. The children scratch constantly due to the itching, which can easily lead to scratch infections. Long-term use of diapers keeps the perineum of children in a humid environment, and bacteria and fungi can multiply and cause infection. After a child has a bowel movement, they wipe their buttocks from back to front, bringing bacteria from the anus to the perineum, which can also increase the chance of infection.

Parents should avoid letting girls wear open-crotch pants, and cultivate the habit of letting their children urinate on their own early on, and use diapers less often. Wipe your butt from front to back after a bowel movement. If unexplained itching, redness and swelling of the anus and perineum occur, you should consider whether there are worms in your stomach. You should go to the hospital in time for a routine stool examination and deworming. In addition, the little girl's occasional vaginal bleeding may indicate a risk of reproductive tract tumors and she must seek medical attention as soon as possible.
