For the most part this is due to the fact that body in childhood is in any way not protected – no local protection. In addition, children constantly get sick. And, given our environment, food, water conditions, these diseases are almost inevitable. The number of diseases increases in SARS and acute respiratory infections season – namely, in autumn and spring. After a runny nose there discharge from genital organs appears. After a pediatrician, people come to gynecologist.’
• ‘Every doctor should be a psychologist, as well as a qualified, gentle and kind person.

Doctor's advice:

• ‘Be sure to show girls to a gynecologist at birth and every six months after. And also, of course, at appearance of complaints.’ ‘The reason for seeking medical attention must be pus-like discharge of yellow, green, curd nature with a smell. Also, if there is redness, inflammation of external genitalia, menstrual irregularities, very heavy bleeding, due to which more than five pads per day are spent, pain syndrome not relieved by anything. If a child is experiencing severe pain during menses, faints, a girl is vomiting and nothing helps – you should visit a gynecologist but not wait at home.’ ‘Parents should pay attention to their children, especially during menstruation. Also, parents of young girls are advised not to abuse diapers – they are good for the parents, but not for children. When used greenhouse effect occurs and, besides, feces hits the external genitalia of a child – that develops inflammation. Parallel to this, urinary tract inflammation may occur.’
