Please offer me advice on this serious pelvic infection.....

[Nixz]

OK - I will keep it simple as I dont know a lot of the facts, here goes.
I have a good friend who moved away with his wife and family (large family, second marriages on both parts). They now live a wonderful life on a dream island.

Had an email from my friend tonight saying that his DD (9) is in hospital with a serious pelvic infection.
Friend has said that DD has no Hymen, has vaginal bleeding and quite a bad infection.
Drs have said that infections can cause the bleeding/hymen symptoms but that sexual assault is quite possible.
Friend is struggling to accept this as (and this is where I dont know much yet) I think his DD would have mentioned something by now and also they are hardly ever away from thier kids.
Have you ever heard of any infections that could cause these symptoms?
Would welcome any advise or opinions or experiences so that I can offer them to my friend.
Thanks

As others have said, an absent hymen is not diagnostic of sexual assault.

Pelvic infection is not the same as PID. The pelvic infection may have been caused by unusual but not sinister reasons too. Foreign bodies placed in the vagina (often by the child themselves out of curiosity) can introduce bacteria, as can swimming in infected water. It is more likely that infection has started elsewhere (bowel, appendix, bladder) and spread to involve the pelvis.

I hope your friend's child gets better soon.

Hope she's doing better today Nixz.
