Patient's question:
Recently, my daughter said she felt uncomfortable in her vaginal area. She is 6 years old. I thought it might be due to a heat-related issue or some other cause, so I didn't clean it immediately. Instead, I gave her a clean water rinse for two days. However, she still said she felt uncomfortable. After cleaning her, I noticed something was wrong with the smell—it was a bit foul. I found a foreign object at the vaginal opening and carefully removed it with tweezers. Then, I used a feminine wash to clean the outside twice, not for rinsing, just for cleaning. Since then, I have been washing it with clean water every day.Doctor's answer:
The age of a child can be prone to gynecological inflammation such as vaginitis. Suggestions: Since some microorganisms like molds, bacteria, and trichomonads normally exist in human body cavities, they can abnormally multiply and cause pathogenic effects when the body's constitution declines or local hygiene is poor. It is recommended that the child first undergo a secretion test to identify the pathogenic bacteria and receive timely treatment. Doctor's inquiry: The occurrence of gynecological inflammation not only affects the patient's life but also leads to the development of gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to go to the gynecology department of the hospital for an ultrasound examination to identify the cause and then provide symptomatic treatment. Pay attention to personal hygiene and maintain the cleanliness of the perineal skin in daily life.
