vulvo vaginitis 16 days
gangrene exhaustion

Sounds very unpleasant

I think she was very young to be suffering 'women problems'

Having searched the internet it seems to be a common problem in young girls but this sounds extreme.

Gangrene and exhaustion



Poor little thing. Looks as if it can be cured easily these days.
