Question
Hello.  I am very upset because my 6 year old daughter over the past 2 months has developed a problem when she urinates.  When she gets up after wiping and starts to pull her pants up, she runs back to the toilet and says "its leaking" and starts wiping again.  This is happening more and more.  When I check her underwear, they sometimes have a small wet spot and sometimes they are dry.  Her pediatrician felt that since she had gained 8 lbs in 6 months, it could be from that.  He told her to spread her legs when she pees and to use Nystatin.  Well - after 3 1/2 weeks, she is still dealing with the problem which, in turn, is making her very emotional.  I took her to her kinesioligist/chiropractor and he did some adjusting but that has not helped.  She has been to see her osteopathic doctor that wants me to put estrogen cream on her vagina.  I am not really willing to do that.  I have also started her on treatments with an accupressure therapist.  She has only had 1 treatment.  This morning, she broke down crying because she could not get the sensation to stop and made several trips back to the bathroom.  I am now becoming very frustrated and feel as if I am failing her because I can't seem to get her the treatment she needs.  Do you have any suggestions?  My next step is to call a urogynecologist.  ????  Thanks for your help!

Answer
Did you get blood work done to make sure she does not have an infection?

I would get her on Bifidophilus Flora Force and cornsilk as it tones that area and can help with urinary issues of this kind.
