Brief Answer:
This is normal and needs no treatment!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about what this 9years old daughter of yours went through. Please, take active measures to make sure she never gets this abused and traumatized again.

These results are not suggestive of an active infection and there would be no need for treatment at this time. Has she and the family be able to obtain psychosocial support? If not, I will suggest that you do so to make sure this doesn't come back to be a problem in future.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.

Brief Answer:
Depends on your definition of a virgin!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

If your definition of a virgin is a person whose hymen is no longer in tact, then am afraid she is no longer a virgin because it must be breached before gaining access into the vaginal.

If your definition is someone who has never had vaginal sex, then she is still a virgin. This is what I prefer and use.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services. feel free to keep the discussion going if need be.
