Having seen on a diaper of the newborn girl of a spot of red, yellowish or grayish color, mums usually are frightened. In fact, this phenomenon - the norm. The appearance in girls' newborns of excreta is associated with a sharp interruption in the intake of the female sex hormones released from the mother at the time of delivery. And allocation at newborns from a vagina - natural process of disposal of "superfluous" hormones.
Highlight red
At 5% of crumbs after a birth (on the third-seventh day) metrorrhagia is observed, lasting up to two days. In this case, the vaginal mucosa, cervix and the uterus itself are in a state that is characteristic of the premenstrual. The fact is that the parent hormones cease to exist, and because of this, the mucous uterus is rejected. Such spotting in little girls does not need treatment. The main condition is frequent washing of the newborn with boiled cold water. This will help to avoid accidental infection of the genitals.
Isolations of yellowish and white-gray color
About 70% of newborn babies in the first three days of life experience desquamative vulvovaginitis. This period in newborn girls is characterized by abundant white mucous or curdled discharge, distinguished by the absence of unpleasant odors. As in the case of micromanstruction (menarche), there is no need for treatment. However, with the erosion should be careful not to damage the slightly irritated secretions tender mucous.
If the bloody, yellowish or white mucous discharge does not stop after two to three days after the onset, they acquire a specific (sometimes putrefactive) smell, and the genital organs become swollen and redden, a specialist consultation is necessary.
