Patient's question:
My daughter is nine years old. 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 Center for a check-up. They tested her discharge and said it was bacterial vaginosis. They prescribed some lotion for me to use at home. After using it for a few days, it improved, but it came back again after a short period of time. It keeps recurring despite treatment. What should I do? Will it leave any long-term consequences for her? I urgently need to know!Doctor's answer:
Hello, the vaginitis in underage girls is caused by the frequent wearing of tight-waisted, hip-hugging triangle underwear and high-stretch fitness pants. These types of pants are made of synthetic fabrics that 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 for low-pressure vaginal irrigation to correct the vaginal pH balance.
(2) Take the traditional Chinese medicine Zhibai Bawei Pills 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 to see the effect.
