What are the diagnostic methods for vaginitis in young girls?

What are the diagnostic methods for vaginitis in young girls? I believe many people have this question. Due to the anatomical characteristics of young children and their inability to move and cooperate with doctors, the diagnosis is difficult. Let's learn about the diagnostic methods for vaginitis in young girls .

1. Check the vulva. Use the middle and index fingers to gently separate the labia majora and carefully observe the vulva urethra and vestibule. This is one of the diagnostic methods for vaginitis in young girls.

2. Vaginal speculum examination. The best examination instrument is Kelly air cystoscope, and bronchoscope or nasal endoscope can also be used as vaginal speculum. For older girls, a special small vaginal duckbill can be used. Through the above speculum, the cervix can be seen more clearly and the vaginal epithelium and secretions can be checked for foreign matter. At the same time, a small cotton swab can be used to take vaginal secretions for smear, and Gram staining can also be used to take secretions for culture, and drug sensitivity tests can be performed to determine the pathogens.

3. Bimanual rectal and abdominal examination. Use the left middle finger and index finger to separate the labia majora on both sides, and insert the right index finger (the little finger can also be used if it is difficult for the index finger to enter the child's anus and abdomen) into the child's anus and abdomen. The other hand cooperates with each other to feel whether there is any foreign body in the vagina, the size of the uterus and the condition of the pelvic cavity. Rectal examination can also assist in collecting vaginal secretions. The method is to use the rectal finger to press the posterior wall of the vagina forward, and use the other hand to hold a sterilized glass tube to squeeze the rectum and suck the vaginal secretions. This is also a diagnostic method for young female vaginitis.
