Patient's question:
My youngest daughter is nearly five years old. For the past few days, I have intermittently noticed pinkish, blood-like substances in her underwear over the past five to six days, but not in large amounts. Previously, I asked her, and she said she didn’t feel any pain or discomfort. However, last night while she was taking a bath, I found pinkish stains in her underwear again, and this time they were more than before. She also mentioned that she felt pain while urinating. The underwear of adults and children have always been washed separately. My older daughter is nearly seven years old, and her underwear is very clean. The two daughters’ underwear has always been washed together, but the younger daughter’s underwear has a strong odor. I always thought it was because of urine droplets on her underwear. However, now there is pinkish discharge, which is very worrying. I am very anxious to consult a doctor and hope to get an explanation. Thank you!!Doctor's answer:
The situation you described, where the child's underwear is pink and has an odor, and urination causes pain, may be caused by external genital inflammation or urethritis. It's best to take the child to the hospital for a check-up and conduct a urinalysis to see if there are any abnormalities, observe any redness or ulcers in the external genital area, and then treat accordingly based on the results.This is the advice for the question "My nearly five-year-old daughter has had intermittent pink underwear with blood for about five days in the past week and a half?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
