Nursing measures for children with vaginitis

Vaginitis is not a gynecological disease that only adult women can get. Underage girls can also easily suffer from vaginitis if they do not take proper care of themselves, which can seriously affect their growth. Therefore, parents need to take good care of their children's vagina.

1. Clean the vulva

Parents should clean their children's vulva every night. The bathtub and towel should be dedicated. If the mother also suffers from vaginitis, the two of them should use their own dedicated bathtubs, because vaginitis in adults and children is different. Do not share washing utensils to avoid aggravating the condition of the child. The water should be clean. Do not use dirty water for washing the face or wiping the body. When washing the child's buttocks, use warm water from front to back, and it is best to wash once a day.

2. Wash your underwear frequently

Girls with vaginitis should not wear open-crotch pants to avoid increasing the chance of bacterial infection; underwear should be changed and washed frequently, and kept separate from adult underwear when washing to prevent contamination.

3. Avoid cross infection

When a mother suffers from urogenital diseases such as trichomoniasis and gonorrhea, she should not sleep in the same bed with her child, let alone take a bath together, to avoid cross infection.

4. Children's clothing

Children's clothes should be soft and comfortable, especially pants, preferably made of pure cotton to avoid adverse stimulation of the vagina. Children should wear light-colored underwear for easy observation. If there are yellow scabs or dry patches on the underwear, there must be an infection.

5. Observe the condition in time

Mothers should always observe the vaginal and urinary conditions of their children. If they find that the girl's vulva is red, swollen, injured, has vaginal discharge, has urgency, frequency, pain when urinating, or suddenly wets the bed, they should take her to a gynecologist in time.
