Your daughter may complain of itching, soreness, or pain with urination, and you may notice redness and some discharge from the vagina. Your doctor may have taken a swab of vaginal discharge to be sent to the lab if infection was suspected.
Some infections require specific medicines.
Most are caused by the bacteria that are found normally in her stool and can be treated successfully by the local care outlined below. Excessive masturbation, foreign body insertion, or sexual abuse should also be considered. If you have any suspicions that your child has been molested, please bring this to your doctor's attention. Mother should re-instruct the child on proper wiping techniques at the toilet. Always wipe from front to back to avoid getting feces into the vagina.
