Patient's question:
My daughter is nine years old this year. Since last year, I have noticed some yellow spots on her underwear and a bit of itching. I took her to the Maternal and Child Health Hospital for examination. They tested her discharge and said it was bacterial vaginosis. They prescribed some lotion for me to take home and wash with. After washing for a few days, it improved, but it came back shortly after. It keeps recurring despite treatment. What should I do? Will it leave her with long-term consequences?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the vaginitis in the minor girl is caused by wearing tight, triangular underwear and high-stretch leather leggings. These types of pants are made of synthetic fabric and are not breathable, making it difficult for vaginal secretions and sweat to dissipate, creating a suitable environment for bacterial growth and leading to vaginitis.Treatment:
(1) Use 1% lactic acid or 0.5% acetic acid daily for ventilated vaginal irrigation to correct the vaginal pH balance.
(2) Take the Chinese herbal medicine Zhi Bai Ba Wei Wan orally, 4.5 grams each time, twice daily. A course of treatment lasts for 10–14 days.
(3) If there are ulcers, apply purple grass oil to the affected area. Wait and see the results.
