How can you care for your child with urethral prolapse?
- If the doctor prescribed vaginal estrogen cream, use it exactly as prescribed.
- Your child may take a warm bath once or twice a day to help with pain. To reduce the chances of irritation and pain, avoid bubble baths. Use soap only at the end of the bath.
- Put a layer of Vaseline on the opening of the urethra. This may help protect the irritated skin and ease pain.
