At what age does a girl's genitalia mature? What are the changes in female genital development
Do you know how girls develop their reproductive organs? The reproductive organs bear the heavy responsibility of having children and reproducing offspring, and their healthy development is related to the happiness of children throughout their lives, especially for female infants. Below, the editor will explain to you how girls' reproductive organs develop.
Some female babies may experience vaginal discharge and false menstruation after birth. This is because the fetus is affected by the maternal estrogen in the maternal body, causing the proliferation of Vaginal epithelium and endometrium. After the birth of a female baby, the influence of the mother's body is suddenly interrupted, and the proliferation will fall off and white mucus will flow out, which is called vaginal discharge. A few female infants also secrete hemorrhagic substances, known as fake menstruation. These are normal phenomena that will disappear after a period of time. Parents only need to gently scrub her genitals with clean water and a towel.
The reproductive organs of female infants are relatively complex, divided into two parts: the internal genitalia and the external genitalia.
The internal genitalia are located in the lower abdomen of the body, including the ovaries, uterus, and fallopian tubes. The external genitalia is commonly known as the vulva, including the pubic mound, Labia majora, Labia minora, clitoris, vestibule, Vaginal orifice, urethral orifice and hymen.
The pubic mound refers to the area where pubic hair grows after puberty. In early childhood, the elasticity of subcutaneous fat is strong, but without pubic hair, it appears plump. The Labia majora is a tissue with more subcutaneous fat, which covers the Labia minora and Vaginal orifice. Labia minora is a pair of soft mucosal folds, and Sebaceous gland and sweat glands are relatively developed, so the surface of Labia minora is always wet.
The urethral opening is an irregular oval small hole from which urine is discharged. The area near the urethral opening is often a place for bacteria to lurk, which can easily invade the urethra and cause urinary tract infections.
Female infants should maintain the health care of the urethral orifice, Vaginal orifice and perineum. They should often use clean water and neutral soap to clean the vulva to prevent bacteria from multiplying or producing odor. In short, they should develop good health habits from childhood.
Nursing elements of reproductive organs
Sanitary cleaning
Women should prepare their own dedicated cleaning basins, tools, and towels. Cleaning utensils should be cleaned before use, and towels should be dried in the sun or in a well ventilated area after use. It is best to expose them to the sun, which is beneficial for sterilization and disinfection. Because the towel can not see the sun for a long time, it is easy to breed bacteria and fungi. Wash the external genitalia with PH4 weakly acidic female care solution to reduce skin irritation.
After defecating, wipe thoroughly with toilet paper from front to back, and develop the habit of washing or rinsing the anus with warm water. If not wiped clean, there will be fecal stains left at the anus, contaminating underwear. The intestinal bacteria contained in the fecal stains will take the opportunity to enter the vagina and cause inflammation. During the period of vacation, it is necessary to wash the external genitalia frequently with warm water and change sanitary napkins frequently to prevent blood stains from becoming a culture medium for bacteria. Do not use alkaline soap or Potassium permanganate and other chemicals to avoid changing the normal acidic environment of the vagina.
Some women use various lotions to clean their lower body for a long time, while others even use tap water to rinse their vagina during bathing, which is not advisable. The female vagina is in an acidic environment and has a self-cleaning effect. Long term use of various lotions to rinse the vagina can kill beneficial vaginal bacteria, reduce local resistance, and increase the chance of infection. For daily cleaning, a weakly acidic female care solution with pH 4 can be used.
