Suggest Treatment For Bleeding From Vagina Followed By A Fall

my 3 yr old daughter had just gotten out of bathtub--everything on outside of bathtub very wet and slippery--she had climbed onto counter where sink was then slipped and hit the clothes hamper then toilet then to the ground--we rushed in and she was bleeding bad from vagina area--she would not let me see real good but it looked like the cut was made at top of the vulva closer to the pubic bone. i put a diaper on her for bleeding then put her to bed. now, 12 hours later--no urine??? im worried that she may have damaged something. should i take her into the doctor office??

Pediatrician, Neonatology 's  Response
Hi my dear ,please do take her immediately .She has injured herself without even clothes for protection and the bleeding may have stopped but there may be a swelling formed of blood called hematoma .The urine passage is very close to the vagina opening in children.Likely that the swelling is obstructing the urine flow...the doctor will very gently examine her ,ask for an Xray ,and an ultrasound of that pelvic area to decide if there is blood collection under the skin or inside .and the decide management.Please give her some medication for pain like paracetamol drops .or syrup.Keep diaper on for protection of the area .take care
