What should be done if a three-year-old girl gets bacterial vaginosis?

Patient's question:

What should be done if a three-year-old girl gets bacterial vaginosis? My baby is only three years old. A few days ago, she kept saying that her lower abdomen wasn't comfortable and it was a bit itchy. She kept scratching with her hands, and it got worse and worse. When I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, I didn't expect that she would get vaginitis at such a young age.

Doctor's answer:

Because although the child is relatively young, the child's vagina also has a certain amount of secretions. So if personal hygiene is not paid attention to during daily life, it is very easy to reappear many serious growths. This disease does not need to be overly worried about. Bacterial vaginosis is a very common type of vaginal inflammation and is also relatively easy to treat. If the child is still young, this generally does not require medication. Pay attention to personal hygiene during daily life, frequently wipe and clean, and it should be completely recovered.
When patients are directly affected by bacterial vaginosis, we should actively adopt treatment measures and not avoid seeking medical attention. If bacterial vaginosis does not improve with treatment, it is necessary to promptly switch to a new treatment plan.
