I took my 6 year old daughter to hospital yesterday with a suspected UTI because she had blood in her knickers and was complaining of a sore tummy. Her urine was negative, no temperature or clenching of the muscles when the doctor palpitated her tummy. She looks healthy and is otherwise fine so the doctor couldn't explain the blood in her knickers. She is bleeding from somewhere down below but the doctor said she didn't want to examine her now if she was fine which I think is fair enough. She said if the bleeding carries on then to make an appointment with her GP and get it checked out. She still is bleeding but no pain, it's not much but enough to show up in her knickers which I am changing constantly because she won't wear even the smallest of pads.
Has anyone any idea what the bleeding could be? The doctor said she could have scratched herself but I have watched her and she hasn't been scratching herself down there. I asked the doctor if it could be a period but she said unlikely. I am at a loss to what it could be and I am very worried. I will make an appointment first thing tomorrow but a bit of reassurance would be nice please.
She is not on any medication and apart from being ASD there is nothing else wrong with her.
