The concept of “female happiness” is inseparable from female health. How dangerous it is at the earliest stage of formation not to miss the wake-up calls - signs of the disease, so mothers look closely, sniff, worry about every occasion. How to respond by detecting white
discharge in girls? What else do you need to pay attention to? How to act?
Vaginal discharge is a normal occurrence if they are not accompanied by itching, swelling of the labia, an unpleasant odor. In the natural state of an adult woman, this is even an integral part of the healthy microflora of the genital area. For a little girl, this is not entirely normal. Appeared discharge may indicate inflammation or the development of an infectious disease, so a consultation with a gynecologist in this case is more than desirable. In most cases, the treatment is not too long or burdensome. The main signs of concern in such cases are the same as those listed above.
It should be noted that white discharge in girls entering the puberty period may indicate changes occurring in connection with hormonal changes and transformations into girls. They can appear six months to a year before the first menstruation, and with the establishment of the menstrual cycle become regular. Their appearance in girls is associated with ovulation of the egg: periodically, discharge increases, and after a few days decreases. The puberty period in girls goes from 12 to 16 years, but its earlier beginning is also possible.
White discharge in adolescent girls should not cause concern if they are colorless or white and not very plentiful. Using sanitary pads for every day, you can track the stain volume and intensity. If the stain is a few centimeters, then, most likely, these are normal physiological discharge, which you have to put up with. In addition, you should be aware that their number increases with sexual arousal, pregnancy, or during certain
phases of the menstrual cycle. Another thing is if leucorrhoea causes discomfort, causes itching, exudes an unpleasant odor, or changes in color. The hue of the discharge can be different: from yellow-green to brown, sometimes blood clots appear. In this case, it is urgent to contact a
pediatric gynecologist. Analyzes will make it possible to more accurately determine the diagnosis and begin treatment. It is important to note that timely measures taken to combat the disease will give the best result. Therefore spend precious
time for self-treatment or for "pass by itself" is not worth it.
Thus, white discharge in girls alone is not a pathology, if the following factors are taken into account:
- age (puberty );
- consistency and color of whites;
- abundance of discharge;
- smell;
- other complications (itching, swelling).
If mommy is not sure what is happening, then for the sake of her own peace, her daughter should be taken to the doctor - try to get to an experienced pediatric gynecologist. There will be no harm from this, but the benefits are obvious.
