Anyone Experience This Before?

This happened to both of my kids from being constipated. The doctor told me it was completely normal if they had been constiatped. Try apple juice or something with fiber and it should get better.

I do remember my mom telling me that when I was younger I had spotting. She took me to the dr's office to find out what was wrong and Come to find out it was from having hard BM's. I was having so much trouble going that it caused my rectum to tear in the inside. There is a name for it but I forgot what it is. You might keep an eye on her BM to see if there is any blood in the toilet after she goes. If there is you might try and give her a little prun juice to soften it up. If all else fails just take her to the Dr's. Good luck.

My niece had that but it was from a yeast infection. She didn't really have any other symptoms. I would call your dr and see what he says.

Haven't had any first hand experience, but kids can be full of suprises! You might want to just call the doctor and ask them what they recommend.

Never experienced this before, I would definately ask your physician about it asap.

Hello,
I've heard that sometimes that can happen with little girls, but it might not hurt to just call and talk to someone at your doctors office just to make sure it isn't something serious.

Hello- I went through this with one of my girls. I FREAKED when it happened and rushed her to the Doctor ASAP to find out what if anything had happened. It turned out that her Hymen had broke. My Doctor explained that sometimes the hymen will break on its own from a fall or if the child "explores" themselfs. I would have her examined "just incase" it is something different, but try not to panic. It is always better to be safe then sorry. I hope this helps ease your nerves and that everything turns out alright. Good Luck -Y.

Girls at this age cant tell you exactly what happened because the memory is so short termed. Many things could have caused this. One is a fall. One could be she did the splits and her legs gave out tearing her hymen. A more irrational choice would be molestation, but I wouldn't toss that one in the air unless you feel there may be a chance. the best thing to do is to take her to the doctor. They should put her in immediatly or direct you to an Urgent Care.

I ditto many of the other responses.... it is always better to be safe than sorry. BUT I also believe that you shouldn't worry until you need to. Don't get too stressed out thinking about it and just have it checked out to ease your mind. You will probably keep wondering/worrying if you don't take her in so it is definitely worth the trip.

My daughter also had spotting in her underwear, when i checked closer I realized that she had been straining while going to the bathroom which caused a small anal fissure. it would cause a little bleeding during and after she used the bathroom. Our doctor prescribed a powder laxative to help ease the straining. after about 2 weeks it healed.

I think it is better to be on the side of caution then to ignore it, just in case something is going on.

My son did this too. But he is 4 years old. What I did was when I would see him doing it I would make a mad face and tell him to stop and try to explain why he shouldn't do that. When that stopped working, :) I acted like it hurt the shirt and was sad for the shirt. It worked!! He hasn't chewed on his shirts since. Just a suggestion. Hope you find a salution. Good luck!

I would deff. take her to be seen, just in case there is a reason for it. Yes it can happen from an accident, but I live in Oakridge and I also know that there are several registered pedophiles in the area. I would not risk not knowing and her getting follow up care. If for nothing else have her seen to ease your mind and stop the wondering.

Call your doctor to be on the safe side. It may very well be nothing, but I know I'm always a little alarmed when *I* have spotting, and I'm 32! lol

Good luck. I'm sure she'll be fine.

I think you should have her check just to be safe. That is something not normal for one so young. I'd be concerned, too.

If by spotting you mean just a little bit of blood, I think that I've heard that this happens sometimes. But I can't remember why. Did you look to see if there was an injury? Is she complaining of or acting like she hurts. If there's no visible injury and she's not in pain I'd just call the doctor's office and ask about it.

I used to investigate sex offenses and if I were you I wouldn't be concerned unless there is injury and/or pain. If she has been around someone that you don't trust I'd be cautious about letting her be with them. But it's probably nothing to worry about. Just because of my background I get suspicious. But also because of my background I know that spotting can be normal.

My advice is to call the doctor's office and ask them if she should come in.

You know, she may have accidentally been scratched/scratched
herself, but I would definitely have taken her to the Dr.
right away. Just for peace of mind, I know noone wants to be
the type to overreact and rush to the Dr., but this is not
something I ran across with my daughter or any of my nieces.
Hope that everything works out alright!

Yes, I would be VERY concerned. ALWAYS TRUST YOUR GUT.

Tell us what happened at the doctor's office.

We are all dying to know!
