Parents of girls should always remember that care for the reproductive he alth of their daughters does not begin after they face the first problems, but immediately after their birth. After all, anatomically, a newborn girl is no different from an adult woman, all organs are still formed in utero, in the first three months after conception. Of course, until the age of 8, the reproductive system is at rest, but this does not mean that before this age there is no need to visit a specialized doctor.
Many parents don't even know what problems their babies have. Sometimes only a pediatric gynecologist can identify sluggish inflammatory diseases of the vagina, vulva, see adhesions on the labia minora, notice congenital malformations of the reproductive organs or too early puberty.
So, in some cases it is necessary to visit a doctor already in the first months of life. Many people know that often the mother's hormones are transferred to a newborn girl, which can begin to work. Parents will definitely notice this, because the baby’s breasts will swell, vaginal discharge may appear inthe form of mucus, and sometimes bloody. By the end of the fourth week of life, all changes should stop. If this did not happen, and by 2-3 months the crumbs have all the same manifestations of the work of female hormones, then you need to contact a specialist. Only a pediatric gynecologist will conduct an adequate examination, assess the condition of the baby and prescribe treatment.
Increasingly, girls have such a problem as synechia. If the neonatologist in the maternity hospital did not conduct an examination too carefully or did not pay attention to this fact, then the young mother may not even be aware that something is wrong with the newborn daughter. Even if there were no problems at birth, the examination of the external genital organs should be regular. At each appointment during the first year of life, this must be done by a pediatrician. It is he who, in case of problems, should notice the changes and send them to a specialist in time. A pediatric gynecologist will definitely determine if there are synechia and select the optimal treatment regimen. In one case, a hormonal ointment can help, while in others, surgery is necessary.
The causes of fusion of the labia minora can be both certain infectious diseases and excessive efforts of the mother. Washing too often with detergents that dry out the skin is often the cause of synechia.
That is why you should not think that in vain a children's gynecologist is included in the list of doctors who must be visited before going to kindergarten. Also tohe will need to match the girl before starting school and during puberty. And from the age of 14, visits should become regular, at least once a year a growing woman should be examined by a doctor.
Don't get carried away if you are not trusted by the district pediatric gynecologist. Moscow is a city where there are many qualified doctors. First, talk to the girls' mothers you know, perhaps they can advise a specialist. After all, such a doctor should be not only a good gynecologist, but also a psychologist who can dispel the fears of the mother and the baby herself. It is unlikely that you will like a pediatric gynecologist, whose reviews are not the most pleasant and indicate that children are afraid to go to the doctors after such a visit.

Surely, every parent at least once thought about how to teach a child to obey the first time.

If the baby each time begins to show his “I don’t want, I won’t”, then you can deal with this on your own, without resorting to repression and extreme measures
