Girl's lower body has odor

It is common for a baby girl to have an odor in her lower body. When this symptom occurs, many parents don’t know what to do. There are many reasons for this symptom, most of which are caused by bacterial infection. Therefore, it is necessary to maintain the personal hygiene of the girl, take a bath frequently, and change underwear frequently. If the condition is serious, go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time. Let us now take a closer look at what causes a girl’s lower body to have an odor.

1. Daily necessary cleaning: after defecation and before going to bed.

2. Handle as appropriate: Lightly touch the skin near the base of the legs. If it is sticky and not fresh enough, rinse it from top to bottom with clean water. Be careful not to let it seep into the inside. Use a diaper with good moisture absorption to absorb the moisture and keep the area dry.

3. Emphasize: Whether using diapers or disposable diapers, they must be kept breathable and dry. It is best to expose them to the air and blow them.

Some baby girls have leucorrhea shortly after birth, but some only develop it when they are older. If it is colorless and odorless, it is normal. If the fluid contains pus and has a foul odor, it indicates inflammation.

If it is caused by gonococcal infection, symptoms such as pus discharge, local redness, swelling, and pain will appear.

It is generally believed to be caused by bacteria such as Escherichia coli. Give your baby a special bathtub, use non-irritating soap when bathing, and use cloth diapers, because some babies may suffer from allergic vaginitis due to allergies to diapers. Most will recover in 3-4 days.

It may also be urethritis or vaginitis

. The baby's genitals are not fully developed, the urethral and vaginal openings are easily exposed, and the vaginal mucosa is relatively thin, so bacteria or sources of infection can easily enter the urethra or vagina and cause inflammation.

It is recommended to take your baby to a pediatrician for a checkup. It can be cured by taking some sensitive antibiotics.

The mother does a good job in baby hygiene. Sometimes this situation may occur when the baby gets angry. If the baby is breastfeeding, the mother should eat less spicy and irritating foods, eat more vegetables and fruits, and drink water frequently; if the baby is bottle-feeding, the milk powder can be diluted, and the baby should be fed water frequently to increase excretion. If there is no improvement after adjusting your lifestyle habits, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a check-up.
