“…A PubMed search using the index words ‘labial adhesion’ or ‘labial fusion’ yielded 26 such cases, with reproductive age tentatively defined as 15–50 years of age 3–26 . In 22 of these 26 cases, the etiological factors were confirmed or speculated as perineal injuries after vaginal delivery (11 cases), 7–16 genital herpes infection (eight cases), 17–23 female circumcision (two cases), 24,25 and genital graft‐versus‐host disease after hemopoietic stem cell transplantation (one case) 26 . In the remaining four cases, 3–6 the causes were unclear (Table 1).…”

A married woman of reproductive age had labial adhesion with voiding difficulty. She and her husband had not been bothered by their inability to engage in sexual intercourse for the 10 years of their marriage. Surgical incision and reconstruction disclosed the normal vaginal vestibule and urethral meatus. Six months after surgery, her labium was fully open without recurrence. We must be aware that labial adhesion may occur and be hidden in a woman of reproductive age, even when the patient does not notice any 'abnormality' in her genitalia.

“…It originates at the posterior fourchette and progresses towards the clitoris. If complete, the fusion conceals the vaginal opening, however, if partial, the adhesion occurs near the posterior fourchette and clitoris [1][2][3]. Most children with minor agglutination of the labia are asymptomatic.…”

“…The diagnosis is made upon visual inspection, and those typically affected are children less than six years old. However, labial adhesion have been reported in women who are postpartum, postmenopausal, and those with co-existing vulvar lesion [1]. Labial adhesive should be distinguished from congenital deformities, as visually there is a mid-line raphe (line of fusion) present with labial adhesion that would not be apparent in a congenital condition.…”

The purpose of the study is to describe the clinical presentation and management of labial agglutination in prepubertal girls who presented to the paediatric endocrine clinic between January 2011 and June 2012. Five subjects were identified. Their age ranged between 6 months and four years (mean age was 2 year and six months). All patients were discovered by their parents incidentally while changing the diapers. Three of them were treated for severe diaper rash, while in one, the mother tend to use hot olive oil as emollient for skin protection. Physical examination showed various degrees of occlusion with no urinary symptoms. All were treated topically with oestrogen and one had recurrence.

“…Labial fusion is rarely seen in the postpartum period. It has been described as a result of childhood genital lichen sclerosis (8,9), primary genital herpes (10), and chronic inflammation such as recurrent vulvovaginitis and urinary tract infections (11). It is most commonly seen as a result of female circumcision (12).…”

Case Report: Labial Fusion Postpartum and Clinical Management of Labial Lacerations

Lacerations of the external genitalia of various degrees are a common occurrence in the childbirth process. Evidence-based management of minor lacerations of the vulva has yet to emerge in the scientific literature. Spontaneous approximation of minor lacerations of the labia may uncommonly result in distorted anatomical healing, with resultant dyspareunia, among other distressing symptoms. Management of this occurrence, including pharmacologic and surgical strategies, is presented in this case study discussion.
