Several conditions can affect the vaginal area in children. These include vaginitis, vulvovaginitis, labial adhesions, and vaginal discharge. Vaginitis is the inflammation of the vagina and can be caused by infections, irritants, or trauma. Vulvovaginitis, which affects both the vulva and vagina, is often due to poor hygiene, irritants, or infections. Labial adhesions involve the sticking together of the labia minora and can cause urinary and vaginal issues.
