What is the clinical name for a smaller than normal vaganal opening in a 5 year old?

Question

I'm a soon to be single dad. Mom ran away twice and forgot to take the kid both times. She will never have the opportunity to make that mistake again!

A couple of months ago I took my daughter to a visit with a new Pediatrician and she performed a vaganal exam and announced "your daughter has "pre something something" and gave me a prescription for a hormone creme to apply twice daily for two weeks and the fleshy web at the bottom of her vagina faded away. I cannot remember the name of the condition and don't really want to call the doctor back. Help?

You people have sick minds! maybe I used the wrong term "vaganil exam" how the hell should I know I'm just a stoopid man! The Doctor looked at the outside of her vagina and saw a web of flesh at the bottom of her vagina and explained that it should have disolved away by now. Both me and my wife were in the examination room and there was no "looking into" my childs privates! Satisfied? Sick f#@k&%g pukes! She called it by a name that I forgot. Hell, I'll just call her.

Give a cyberspace full of smartasses a chance to shine and they cover themselves with "cyberdung" and make the whole place look like an electronic pervert playground. To those sick morons who answered calling me sick, may you be granted a lifetime of piles! Oh, you might have to ask Yahoo answers to figure this one out, huh?

Answer 1

The clinical name would be "smaller than normal vaginal opening."

However, vaginal exams are not part of a routine visit to a pediatrician. The only time that a vaginal exam would be preformed on a 5-year-old is if there was compelling evidence that she was sexually abused, or that there was medical evidence of a problem (ex. vaginal itching or discharge). Going to a new pediatrician simply isn't reason enough to perform that sort of exam on a young girl.

To the best of my knowledge, there is no topical hormone treatment for anything resembling an abnormally small or obstructed vaginal opening. For that matter, there not much at all that would be treated that way. The only topical hormone treatments I'm familiar with are for various forms of inflammation, which I very much doubt is what your daughter had.

I'm sorry, but it sounds very much like you're looking for a plausible explanation for why you might have touched your daughter's private parts. And quite frankly, you're kind of creeping me out.

Actually it is pretty normal. IT's funny because my nearly 6 year old son has recently started doing this worse than ever. He CAN say the letter R, but sometimes he is just too lazy. Yesterday he came home from school telling me they are studying books about Eric Carle, but he kept saying "Ewick Cawole". We worked on it a bit. If you are truly concerned you might mention it to their teacher when they start Kindergarden. The schools usually have some on site speech therapy, and this is a pretty mild run of the mill problem and probably doesn't really need intensive private speech therapy.
