P54.6: Neonatal vaginal haemorrhage
In the period immediately after the birth there was bleeding from the child’s vagina.
Hormones are messengers that affect processes in the body. The female sex hormones, for example, control the woman's cycle.
During pregnancy, the mother's hormones also affect the child. After the birth, the mother's hormones no longer affect the child. Then there may be light bleeding from the vagina of baby girls during the first days after the birth.
