Question
A nearly three-year-old girl has noticed a slight unusual odor while washing her bottom. Is this situation normal? The odor is not like urine smell, but has a bit of an unpleasant smell, and there is no discharge. The odor seems to disappear after washing.
Answer
Based on the symptoms described, the situation may involve a young girl’s vaginal inflammation. Usually, it does not cause significant disturbance; it is sufficient to keep the girl’s vulva dry and clean, avoid friction, drink plenty of water, and urinate frequently to promote body metabolism. These suggestions are for reference only, and wish for a quick recovery.
