My little girl is 6. She asked me to go in the bathroom with her the other day, she told me that she had white stuff in her 'mary', ( she means her vagina ) When I had a look she had a white mucus / dis-charge there. It isn't enough to stain her underwear, as it does when you are older.....but this has really worried me. She is the first girl in a long line of boys in the family, so I am not familiar with girls growing up!
Can someone tell me if this is normal for girls of this age or should I take her to the doctors.....there was no irritation or any thing like that.
Serious answers only pls

Miss voe - The thought did cross my mind if there was something wrong like that but when I spoke to her about it she was fine and assured me that nothing untoward was going on. She was not fazed by this as we are a very open family.

It is possible it is just discharge. And nothing to worry about. Some girls start their periods at 9. So hold on, she may be one of those. I read the other day that girls as young as 6 are starting to grow boobs and have to start wearing bras. So she may be an early bloomer too. If she does not complain of burning, or itching or any discomfort, I don't think I would worry. Unless things change. Good luck.

My friends little girl had recurring tonsillitis and a discharge was a side effect if that. When she had her tonsils out the discharge stopped. Could be thrush though, which is nothing to worry about, but see the doctor anyway to get it cleared up.

I've seen something similar on my stepdaughter who is 4. It cleared up by the next day, and never happened again.
If you are in any way concerned take her to see a doctor though.

Sometimes little ones can get yeast infections as well as adults. Take her to the doctor and he can give her something to cure it (and don't worry, it is normal.) Best of luck!

it isn't really normal at all!
i mean... she's just 6 years old!
those kinds of kids aren't even supposed to have something like that so early.
i suggest you go to a doctor and find out what it really is!
besides! you don't even know when it's normal or not!

It could just be a yeast infection. You should take her to the doctor so she can be treated.

My daughter has had something similar, and it's nothing to worry about...but if you are still concerned, by all means take her to her pediatrician. There's nothing wrong with being a "worry wart" when it comes to your kids' health.

None of us are qualified to diagnose this over the Internet.
PLEASE TAKE HER TO THE DOCTOR!
Better safe than sorry.
