Question
A ten-year-old girl has been experiencing abnormal vaginal discharge, sometimes yellowish, for two months. How should she be treated?
Answer
Abnormal vaginal discharge in young girls may be caused by vaginitis and should be promptly checked to determine the cause and treated accordingly. Common causes include bacterial infections, mycoplasma infections, or fungal infections, and treatment can involve topical medications for cleaning and oral antibiotics. Additionally, parents should cooperate with the doctor during treatment and pay attention to the child’s dietary habits, avoiding irritating and cold foods. At the same time, good personal hygiene habits should be cultivated to prevent infections.
