Hygiene: Small girls that are starting to use th bathroom on their need to learn to clean themselves. Remember to wipe always front back to avoid fecal material and bacteria to go to the vagina. Also make sure they don't leave foreign objects (toilet paper) inside the vagina that can predispose to uti.

Varies: This can vary from kid to kid.Tub bathers can develop an itch around their pee hole after failure to rinse sudsy water & the itch can lead to pushing germs into the bladder.I like them to do a tub shower,where the sit in a dry tub, soap up & shampoo with suds draining.After a good cleaning/rinsing they can sit in clean suds free water which helps end the itch.Other causes exist but this is common
