Question
A 6-year-old girl’s underwear has recently been frequently stained with blue marks, and her parents are worried that this may be a sign of precocious puberty. However, the girl’s breast development is normal. Is this situation normal?
Answer
Based on the description, the girl does not show signs of a urinary tract infection. It is recommended that the parents take the girl to the hospital for a check-up to rule out the possibility of precocious puberty. Additionally, the girl may have young female vaginitis. The parents should inquire if the girl has any symptoms of itching in the genital area. Experts suggest using a gentle skin cleanser to clean the girl’s genital area and ensuring that her underwear is washed separately and dried in the sun.
