What is the transparent substance in the infant's vagina?

Patient's question:

What kinds of diseases can pediatric surgery treat, and which symptoms belong to pediatric internal medicine? What is the transparent substance in an infant's vagina?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it's leukorrhea. Leukorrhea is a viscous white liquid discharged from the vagina of women. It is composed of secretions from the Bartholin's glands, cervical glands, endometrial secretions, exudate from vaginal mucosa, and shed vaginal epithelial cells. In your case, it may be subcutaneous bleeding. This bleeding can resemble a needlestick, known as petechiae; it can also appear as a large area. If there are no compression symptoms, treatment may not be necessary. Severe hematomas may require aspiration or incision.
