Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My 8 yr old daughter wipes her vagina after urinating and there is blood. I thought it was her menstraual cycle but now I m not sure. There isn t any blood in the panty liners that I have had her wear over the last several days just bood when she wipes. Am I correct thinking it s her menstrual cycle?
HI.. you may very well be right as you have suggested that she is menstruating right now. There are two suggestions for you -
1. You can wait till her cycle stops and see if the problem persists and if it is persisting, you need to get her evaluated for blood in the urine.
2. Even if she is not having the above mentioned problem, it is a bit early for an 8 year old to start menstruating and even otherwise for this she needs evluatoin.
