ABSTRACT

Labial fusion refers to the complete or partial adhesion of the labia minora. It is also known as synechia of the vulva, labial adhesion, labial agglutination, or vulvar fusion. This condition is commonly observed in prepubescent girls due to low estrogen levels and typically resolves spontaneously with puberty. Although often asymptomatic, treatment options include manual or surgical separation of the adhesions, as well as topical application of estrogen or betamethasone cream. Here, we report a case of labial fusion in a postpubertal adolescent girl, successfully managed through surgical intervention.
