Patient's question:
My daughter is 6 years old now. She has yellow discharge and vulvar itching. I am really troubled.Doctor's answer:
First, reduce the psychological burden. Although it is prone to recurrence, it is a common disease, similar to how some children experience recurrent respiratory infections.Second, enhance immunity and exercise regularly. For local vaginal resistance, estrogen cream may be considered, but it may potentially induce genital development, labial pigmentation, or even precocious puberty. Therefore, it must be used under the guidance of a healthcare provider.
Third, target the pathogenic bacteria and use medication based on drug sensitivity tests.
Prognosis: As the child grows older, estrogen levels in the body rise, and local vaginal resistance improves.
It is essential to seek medical treatment at a regular hospital. The hospitals I know of include: Anqing Municipal Hospital, Anhui Medical University Yijishan Hospital, and the First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical College.
