Intimate hygiene in children
In the case of children, it is less difficult, it does not
mean that it is no longer a delicate area of hygiene. If you have children
from 2 to 7 years old, pay attention to the recommendations:
In what position should they urinate and urinate?
When using the toilet, children urinate while standing and
urinate while sitting on the toilet. At first, at about 2 or 3 years old,
babies usually urinate and empty themselves while sitting, but this habit
changes over time. This will not be an easy task at first, you will find
puddles while your child sharpens the scope while urinating. Finally, when she
can, tell her to wash her hands with soap and water before and after urinating
and defecating.
Bath time for the baby.
When bathing for children, it is recommended that parents
also supervise and guide their children regarding hygiene habits. Do not try to
remove the skin from the baby's foreskin to peel it off, as this may damage it.
When the baby is 3 or 4 years old, the foreskin will weaken and can be removed
without force. On the other pointer, if a child is going to swim, he must start
at the head and end at the feet.
Cleaning and maintenance
Use soft, damp grooming towels, then wipe with a piece of
paper until the area is completely dry, if it remains damp, bacteria can
multiply, like in girls. Immediately after using the toilet, the child should
wash his hands with soap and water; Thanks to this measure, it is possible to
avoid some infectious diseases that are transmitted orally-feces through the
hands.
Both the genitals of boys and girls are located close to the
rectum, so they are a part of the body that requires special attention, and
even more so in childhood. Both the vulva and the penis have a number of folds
that need to be separated in order to wash them properly, as they easily
accumulate urine and discharge residues.
Also, for both sexes, underwear should be changed every day
after bathing. It is recommended that the underpants and shorts are cottons
rather than synthetics and that they are not tight like pants.
Although men usually experience a little discomfort, if
itching, burning, acne, or other discomfort occurs, you should see your
pediatrician immediately.
By following intimate hygiene advice for children and
teaching them how to take care of their personal hygiene, they will reinforce
these basic habits for their health and daily life.
