Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
The inflammation of the external genitalia in female infants is mostly caused by the underdevelopment of the external genitalia during the infant and early childhood period, low estrogen levels, strong resistance of the vaginal epithelium, and the proximity of the vagina to the anus, making it susceptible to bacterial infections. The pathogens can be transmitted through bathtubs, hands, etc., or may be caused by poor hygiene, unclean external genitalia, and frequent contamination with feces. On hot days, it is best not to use diapers for little girls.
