Vulvitis is an inflammatory disease of the female external genital organs. It is manifested by itching, burning of the mucous membrane, discharge, and edema. This pathology arises as a result of non-compliance with the rules of hygiene, trauma to the vulva, or as a result of endocrine diseases.
Instructions
Step 1
In girls, the disease occurs due to imperfect local immunity, very thin and delicate mucous membranes and skin of the vulva, which are easily injured. In addition to the appearance of this disease, the presence of pinworms can lead, since they damage the skin of the external genital organs as a result of scratching. To diagnose this disease, consult a child with a pediatric gynecologist. He will conduct an external gynecological examination, take tests (bacterioscopic examination of smears, and culture in order to determine resistance to various types of antibiotics).
Step 2
When treating vulvitis, local symptoms and the cause of the disease must be eliminated. Eliminate the pathogen with antibiotics or antifungal agents, depending on its type and sensitivity to the prescribed drugs.
Step 3
In addition, be sure to carry out local treatment of the external genital organs with various antiseptic solutions, make lotions or cold compresses with furacillin solution, warm sitz baths (extracts of chamomile, calendula, string, eucalyptus), washing and douching with antiseptic solutions. After wet procedures, gently dry the labia with a cloth and sprinkle with medical powder, preferably based on streptocide. The powder will absorb the secretions and prevent further irritation and inflammation of the tissues.
Step 4
If the child complains of severe itching, lubricate the external genitals with ointments containing anesthetics. Additionally, you can use ultraviolet irradiation in a physiotherapy room. If the disease is allergic, give your child antihistamines. Follow a strict diet, do not let your child network sweet, spicy and salty foods.
Step 5
At the same time, treat concomitant diseases (chronic inflammatory infections, hormonal disorders), as well as strengthen the immune system. A prerequisite for the prevention of vulvitis is the observance of hygiene of the external genital organs.
