Doctor's answer:

Intestinal pinworms crawling out of the anus and invading the external genitalia and vagina, causing infection, are also one of the important reasons for the occurrence of this disease. Some children, out of curiosity or a desire to relieve discomfort in the external genitalia, may insert objects such as safety pins, small pencil tips, or small toys into the vagina and fail to remove them promptly. Prolonged stimulation or damage to the vaginal mucosa can lead to inflammation. Female infants with congenital vaginal rectal fistulas and other abnormalities are more prone to develop the condition. Certain pathogenic factors present in the mother's body, such as herpes simplex virus, molds, and trichomoniasis, can be transmitted to female newborns during the passage through the birth canal or close daily contact.
