Paediatric vaginal discharge

  • M R Makwela

Abstract

Vaginal discharge in the prepubertal patient is a common symptom, and can be a source of distress for the caregiver and concern for the healthcare worker. Several factors predispose these patients to the development of recurrent vaginal discharge. Unless noticed by the caregiver, this problem can persist for long periods of time.
