Intimate hygiene of a girl in early childhood

At the age when the girl comes out of the diapers, starts walking alone, she must be taught the initial skills of hygienic care for the external genitalia and anal area.


Care of the genitals after the toilet

The task of the mother is to ensure that the upbringing process and the control of hygiene care are permanent. These skills are simple and easily doable. After urination, the cleft palate should be drained with a damp cloth so that there are no remains of urine that can cause irritation of the mucous vestibule of the vagina. After defecation, the anal region should be washed or wiped with toilet paper only in the front to back direction, and not vice versa, otherwise the stool particles will be deposited on the vestibule of the vagina. Vulva girl should be washed twice a day - in the morning and in the evening. This procedure is more convenient to conduct under a flowing stream of water, it is more convenient to use a flexible shower. Use soap carefully and only when necessary.

Use of soap

Clinical experience shows that the daily use of even a high-quality baby powder in the neutral period of development of girls can provoke the development of allergic dermatosis of the vulva. To use soap enough once a week to attach the toilet to the body. Soap is applied only to the skin of the vulva, excluding the sexual vapors. Do not neglect these recommendations. Panties or panties must be worn daily.

Underwear

It is necessary to give due attention to the underwear of the girl. Panties and panties should be made from cotton or cellulose staple fiber. It is necessary to avoid wearing a chest that has on the inside surface of the hair. When walking, the particles of fibrous may fragment, fall off and fix between the labia, and sometimes even penetrate into the vagina.

When choosing underwear for children, take into account this feature of little girls: when playing, they usually sit on the floor or on the ground with their hips trimmed, so dirt particles from the floor, carpet or ground (particles of grass, lumps of earth, sand and even insects) can penetrate not only the sexual gap, but also in the vagina. In this regard, it is necessary for the girl to wear appropriate underwear. Tights and panties should be so free in a step to sit and cross-legged, they reach the beginning of the thigh and fit well to the body. The girl should not feel any inconvenience to the parish, sit-ups, sitting and in the game. Baby linen should be washed in special children's powders, you can not use bleach. After washing, it is necessary to rinse the laundry several times.

How to sit on the toilet?

A girl of two or three years old who wants to visit the toilet herself, you can only provide this opportunity gradually. Thus it is necessary to be convinced that the child sits on a toilet bowl in a correct position. Pots are adapted to the proportions of the child's body, and the toilet, if it is not equipped with a patch, is not suitable, as a result of which the children sit on the toilet in a position with strongly bent knees, while the buttocks hang in the toilet. It turns out that the perforation channel of the girl is not in front of the entrance to the vagina, but above it. As a result, urine to a greater or lesser degree moisturizes the vagina and may leak into the vagina, creating a false urethral-vaginal reflux. The latter, in turn, provokes the emergence of an inflammatory process, called vulvovaginitis. In addition, the wrong position on the toilet leads to the appearance of false urges to emit (false dysuria) and causes an incorrect wipe of the anus (anus) after defecation. Therefore, the girl has to wipe the toilet paper between the hips anal region in the direction from behind in front, i.e. from the anus to the vulva. If this mother does not notice and will not eliminate in time, then a vicious habit is fixed.

In what the girl to sleep?

A girl should not sleep at night in her panties. It prevents natural ventilation. It is desirable that she sleeps in pajamas or a nightdress to the ankles.

How can mother determine the error in the hygienic behavior of her daughter?

Full control over the function of the bladder in an early girl becomes possible from the 3rd year of life, when the corresponding structures of the nervous system are ripening. In the fifth year of the neutral period, the girl herself copes with the hygienic duties. The error in hygienic behavior can be determined by the mother when inspecting the underwear and it is necessary to give the girl the appropriate instructions.
