Hi,

I have gone through the medical problems of your daughter carefully and understood your concerns.

1. Urinary tract infection can be a possible cause. Get her urine checked by urine analysis and urine culture and sensitivity testing.

2. Be sure she is still virgin: consult with gynecologist to make sure she did not have forced sexual intercourse.

3. Vaginal yeast infections are also to blame. Vaginal swab testing can rule it out. Bare in mind not to go deeper in vagina for vaginal swab testing.

4. Intestinal parasitic infections can be another cause. Examination of stool for ova/parasites is highly recommended.

For the moment, I highly advise to:
- keep a good hygiene of her genitalia
- avoid foods/drinks rich in carbohydrates and calories

All the best!
