Patient's question:
Girl, in the past two days, the baby's lower body has secreted some pale yellow, viscous discharge, a bit like pus! What's going on? Treatment history and effectiveness: No treatment has been given. What help do you want: Please tell me what this condition is.Doctor's answer:
The yellowish, viscous discharge from the lower body of a child should be considered as vaginitis in young girls. It commonly occurs in girls aged 2-9 and is a common cause of vaginitis in female infants and toddlers, often accompanied by vulvitis. Therefore, it is commonly referred to as vulvovaginitis in young girls. For older girls, washing the vulva with a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution (which appears light pink) can be effective. They can sit in the solution 2-3 times a day for about 15 minutes each time. Avoid using harsh soaps and scrubbing vigorously, and maintain cleanliness and dryness of the vulva. Local application of erythromycin ointment may be used.To prevent vulvovaginitis in female infants or young girls, use absorbent and breathable diapers, change them frequently, and maintain hygiene. After defecation, clean the vulva to prevent feces from being incompletely wiped and polluting the perineum. Wear pants as early as possible to reduce the opportunity for the vulva to be exposed and contaminated. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
