In prepubertal children the majority (25% to 75% of diagnoses made in referral centers) of complaints of vulvar inflammation and secondary vaginitis are benign in nature. This nonspecific vulvovaginitis responds well to hygiene measures and education. A child with persistent, purulent, or recurrent vaginal discharge deserves a complete assessment with cultures. When these complaints arise, clinicians must always be alert to the possibility of sexual abuse in children and therefore must conduct a sensitive and thorough history in addition to the examination.
在青春期前儿童中，大多数（转诊中心诊断病例的25%至75%）外阴炎症和继发性阴道炎的主诉本质上是良性的。这种非特异性外阴阴道炎对卫生措施和教育反应良好。有持续性、脓性或复发性阴道分泌物的儿童需要通过培养进行全面评估。当出现这些主诉时，临床医生必须始终警惕儿童遭受性虐待的可能性，因此除了检查外，还必须进行敏感而全面的病史询问。
