Question
Why does a child’s underwear turn yellow?
Answer
Hello, if a 10-year-old girl’s underwear turns yellow without any odor, it may be related to pediatric vaginitis. This is usually because girls have weaker regional resistance in the area of their external genitalia, combined with possible lack of attention to vulvar hygiene, or due to vaginal inflammation caused by foreign objects, upper respiratory infections, or urinary tract infections. It is recommended to take the child to a doctor for a diagnosis, and to use potassium permanganate solution for sitting baths, change underwear frequently, and maintain good hygiene habits. This usually helps improve symptoms quickly. Wishing the child a healthy growth.
