Infant vaginitis threatens infants and young children

What are the causes and symptoms of infant vaginitis? Parents must have such questions. Infant vaginitis is a female and child disease. Since the patients are children, we should pay more attention to it. Now, let the experts introduce to you the causes and symptoms of infant vaginitis. I hope it can help you better understand infant vaginitis.

Infant vaginitis, which mostly occurs in young girls aged 2 to 9, is a common disease among female infants. Because vaginitis is often accompanied by vulvitis, it is often collectively referred to as infant vulvar and vaginitis.

The main symptoms of infantile vaginitis are itching of the vulva and vagina, and increased vaginal discharge. Infants and young children cannot express their symptoms correctly, so they often scratch the vulva with their fingers, which further spreads the infection through their fingers and scratches. The mucous membranes of the vulva, urethra, and vaginal opening become congested and edematous, and there is purulent discharge.

The causes of vaginitis in infants and young children are caused by the mothers and childcare workers not paying attention to the cleanliness of the children's vulva, improper handling of bowel movements, or wiping the anus with contaminated paper, allowing intestinal bacteria to invade the vagina.

Under normal circumstances, infant vaginitis is not common. It is caused by intestinal pinworms passing into the vagina through feces, or improper feces handling, which causes pinworm eggs to contaminate the vulva of young girls through the hands, clothes, toys, etc. of the mother or childcare staff, causing inflammation.

After reading the above experts' introduction, I believe everyone has a better understanding of infant vaginitis. I hope everyone can pay more attention to infant vaginitis, and I also wish that children with infant vaginitis can receive early treatment and recover soon.
