Patient's question:
My daughter is only twelve years old, but the doctor said she suffers from bacterial vaginosis. Why do young girls get bacterial vaginosis? Why do young girls get bacterial vaginosis?Doctor's answer:
Hello, married girls suffering from vaginitis are due to poor hygiene practices during their first menstrual period, which leads to bacterial infections. Due to shyness and a lack of familiarity with menstruation, girls may not understand proper hygiene practices, such as using unsanitary toilet paper, menstrual pads, or menstrual cotton. Bacteria take advantage of these conditions to cause vaginitis.Young girls have a strong desire to be fashionable and often wear tight pants that accentuate their figures. These high synthetic fabrics are not breathable, and frequent wearing of such pants can interfere with the evaporation of sweat and secretions from the external genital area, lowering the local temperature. Bacteria thrive in warm, moist environments, leading to vaginitis.
