Question
My child is 9 years old and has noticed an increase in discharge on their underwear over the past two days, which appears pale yellow, without any pain or itching. Is this a normal phenomenon? We have not received any treatment and hope to receive assistance through phone or text.
Answer
Hello, it is recommended to bring the child’s discharge to the hospital for examination to determine the cause and receive targeted treatment for better results. It is also advisable to encourage your child to drink more water to avoid heat. The presence of discharge is normal, but for safety reasons, it is best to have a discharge test to rule out the possibility of vulvitis. This condition may be related to hormones in the body and is generally considered normal, so there is no need to worry. Monitor the situation temporarily; if there are no discomforts, treatment may not be necessary. At the same time, pay attention to local hygiene. If there are symptoms such as itching or an unpleasant smell, it is recommended to seek medical attention immediately.
