Question
What should be done if a child has had a urethrovaginal fistula since childhood?
Answer
If urine is simultaneously released from both the urethral and vaginal openings, it may be a sign of urethrovaginal fistula. It is recommended to consult a local regular hospital or children’s hospital. In the case of a urethrovaginal fistula, surgical treatment is required. Since children have weaker body resistance, they are more prone to pediatric urinary system problems. Parents should take their children to professional hospitals for timely examination and treatment, and pay attention to regular checks for their children under the guidance of doctors, and prescribe symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication accordingly.
