STUDY OBJECTIVE: We aimed to investigate the etiology and clinical management of vaginal bleeding in girls aged 0-9 years and to compare our results with previous publications. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, INTERVENTIONS, AND MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The records of all girls younger than 10 years of age who were seen between 2001 and 2011 at Skåne University Hospital Lund for vaginal bleeding were retrospectively collected.
RESULTS: We identified 86 girls with vaginal bleeding. Of those, 47 (54.7%) were diagnosed with a local lesion, the etiology was hormonal in 16 (18.6%), and in 23 (26.7%) the etiology was unclear. Trauma was the most frequent cause of local lesions and hormonal withdrawal of the newborn was the most common hormonal etiology. Two girls were diagnosed with a tumor, 1 with relapse of a vaginal rhabdomyosarcoma, and the other with recurrence of an ovarian granulosa cell tumor. There were large disparities in the clinical management of vaginal bleeding. A genital examination was conducted in 70 of 86 (81.4%), and colposcopy in only 8 of 86 of the patients (9.3%).
CONCLUSION: This study confirmed vaginal bleeding as a rare finding in girls younger than 10 years of age. It is usually a benign symptom, but because there might be a serious underlying condition, proper investigation and follow-up are needed. Clinical management varied in our patient cohort. This might be because of insufficient knowledge and might indicate the need for general guidelines.
