Why do newborn baby girls come to "menstruation"?
Some newborn baby girls will have vaginal hemorrhagic discharge shortly after birth. This is a physiological phenomenon that occurs when newborns are affected by hormones in the mother's body. When the fetus is in the mother's body, after being affected by the mother's estrogen infused by the placenta, the cells of the vaginal mucosa will proliferate and become hyperemic. Once the baby is born with a sudden interruption in the source of estrogen, it will cause the original proliferating and hyperemic cells to fall off and drain from the vagina, so that the above situation occurs, which is medically called false menstruation.
This condition occurs mostly within a few weeks after the birth of a female baby, and is usually more common after birth from 5-7 days, generally after 3 days can gradually disappear, and a few can be 7-10 days. Therefore, when the baby girl has this phenomenon, the mother does not have to panic. In general, no special treatment is required for this phenomenon. If there is too much secretion, care should be taken to keep the local skin clean. The vulva can be washed 2-3 times a day with warm hot water, and if necessary, the vulva can be cleaned with soft and clean gauze or cotton swabs, dipped in light potassium permanganate water. However, do not apply topical dressings or dressings, which can cause irritation and infection. Bathe baby girls with false menstruation, do not use a tub, shower or wash the vulva with running water. If the bloody secretion is too much, the duration is too long, or the vaginal discharge is yellow purulent and foul-smelling, the baby should be taken to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time.
