Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here... Hi i took my 3year old daughter to bed last night and there was a little blood in her knickers and when i went to put her nappy on for bed i could see just inside her vagina and could tell this is where the blood had come from. Should i be worried?
Hi, Is there any complaint of itching or discharge from the area (suggests vulvo-vaginitis)? Any history of dysuria or frequent micturition (suggesting urine infection)? Vaginal bleeding at this age is usually caused by a condition called vulvo-vaginitis. Rarely, we come across a foreign body lodged there or urethral prolapse (bulging out of urine opening). Sometimes, hematuria from conditions like urine infection is mistaken for vaginal bleeding. You can keep the area clean(avoid too frequent or too infrequent washing), apply emollients like diaper rash on vulva in case itching / burning. If the symptoms continue, kindly get her examined to find out the specific cause. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
