Two-year-old girl has a bad smell in her private parts

Children nowadays often wear open-crotch pants, and their diapers are not changed frequently, which can cause infection in the genitals. This is not a problem for baby boys, but for baby girls, the antibody capacity of the two-year-old body is not enough. If you find that the baby's genitals have an odor, you must check it first and then seek treatment.

A girl's vagina is an external reproductive organ and also has an excretory function. Its upper end is connected to the uterus and fallopian tube and goes directly to the abdominal cavity, while the lower end is directly connected to the outside world. The front of the vaginal opening is the urethra and the back is the anus, so it also serves as an excretion outlet. The labia minora on both sides of the vagina are often closed, and the front and back walls of the vagina are tightly attached together, forming a natural defense barrier with unique defense structure and function both anatomically and physiologically. The vagina itself has a self-cleaning ability. This is because the vaginal epithelial cells are rich in glycogen. This glycogen is decomposed by the vaginal bacteria that parasitize in the vagina to produce lactic acid. Lactic acid creates an acidic environment in the vagina, which can prevent the reproduction of many pathogenic bacteria. However, the vagina is always hidden in the darkness created by underwear or diapers, and is easily contaminated by liquid and residues left over from urine and feces, so it is obviously not enough for a baby girl's genitals to rely solely on self-cleaning.

1. Change diapers from time to time: a clean, fresh and breathable environment is the most ideal environment for the vagina. The baby girl has not yet left diapers, so whether using diapers or disposable diapers, you should choose those that are breathable, safe and hygienic.

Mothers must remember to change diapers in time after defecation. The opening of the urethra is directly connected to the internal organs. The residual components of urine will irritate the baby's skin, making it prone to diaper rash. If the interference is serious, it will cause allergies and inflammation. If you encounter red buttocks, you can apply a mild baby diaper cream.

2. Wear panties early: The underwear you choose should be absorbent, breathable, made of cotton, loose and comfortable. Mothers, please put full-crotch pants on your baby girls as early as possible to minimize the direct contact between dirty bacteria from outside and the genitals.

4. After washing, wipe dry the water in time to keep the vagina clean and fresh at all times.

5. Some mothers have the habit of applying talcum powder to their genitals, which is actually inappropriate. Talcum powder may mix with undried moisture and sweat and accumulate in the wrinkles of the skin, forming small particles. Rubbing the skin may cause ulcers on the baby's delicate skin. Mothers must not do good things with bad intentions.

6. Before cleaning the baby, the mother should pay attention to hand hygiene to avoid contaminating the vulva.
