What are the causes of vaginitis in little girls?

Vaginitis in little girls may be caused by poor hygiene habits, indirect contact, physiological characteristics, etc.

1. Bad hygiene habits:

If little girls do not pay attention to hygiene when wearing open-crotch pants and sit or lie on the ground to play, it will pollute the vagina and cause inflammation, vaginal itching, urinary pain and other symptoms. Parents should cultivate good hygiene habits for little girls. Physical methods such as warm water bathing, frequent changes of underwear, and keeping the local area clean and dry can be used to improve symptoms.

2. Indirect contact:

The little girl has low immunity. If a family member suffers from vaginitis, the little girl's contact with contaminated daily necessities will cause bacteria to invade the vagina, causing inflammation, vulvar itching, redness and swelling, etc. Drugs such as metronidazole gel, tinidazole suppository, and clindamycin phosphate gel can be applied locally under the guidance of a doctor to improve symptoms.

3. Physiological characteristics:

The vulva of young girls is not fully developed and cannot completely cover the vaginal opening and urethral opening, which can easily lead to candidal infection and inflammation. Parents can take cephalosporin granules under the guidance of a doctor, apply miconazole nitrate cream, mycobacterium ointment and other drugs to improve symptoms.

In addition to the above reasons, it may also be caused by abnormal hormone levels, etc. See a doctor in time to determine the cause and treat it.
