Abstract
Objective of the study. To assess the relationship between the presence of breastfeeding and the likelihood of vulvovaginitis in girls in the neutral period. Methods. The study included 176 girls aged 3–6 years (73 girls with vulvovaginitis – the main group and 103 girls without vulvovaginitis – the comparison group). The relationship between the characteristics of breastfeeding, the nutritional characteristics of the girl’s mother during pregnancy and lactation, and the likelihood of vulvovaginitis in the neutral period were evaluated. Results. Failure of a newborn to breastfeed in the delivery room increases the likelihood of developing vulvovaginitis in the neutral period by 4.16 times (95% CI: 1.41–12.26). Attaching a newborn to the breast in the delivery room reduces the risk of vulvovaginitis in girls in the neutral period by 88% (OR = 0.22; 95% CI 0.07–0.71; p = 0.011). Girls with vulvovaginitis in the neutral period at the breastfeeding stage were more often fed according to the regimen rather than on demand (p < 0.001), supplemented with water (p < 0.001), and the girls’ mothers did not have a varied diet at the stage of pregnancy and breastfeeding (p < 0.001).
