ladies... for those of you with infant girls... has your daughter been diagnosed with having labial adhesions? the doctor at the government healthcentre diagnosed my 4 month old daughter with this during her 4 month vaccinations/checkup and said that this will need to be treated with a clinical procedure whereby the tissue in that area will be spliced... it sounds horribly painful and unnecessary but the doctor said it needs to be done... i'm worried sick... has anyone had this done? any feedback?

No way it needs to be cut dont worry! My DD had the same problem, we discovered it when she was around 9 months. If it is not bothering her then you can leave it, but there is a possibility of bladder infections developing. I left it for a while and then it closed even more so around 18 months we used some estrogen cream for two weeks and it opened on its own. Dr Loubser (Infinity) & Dr Rita (Health Bay) both recommended the estrogen cream to me. You cannot buy it in the UAE so you will have to source from overseas. It can close up again so you may have to repeat the cream but it will sort it self out in time. My DD hasnt had a problem with it since we used the cream, she is three now.

Get another opinion. Dr Loubser at Infinity Clinic is very good. He has been our pead for 2 and half years and can't say anything bad.

I strongly strongly advise you to get a second opinion from a western trained pediatrician. <em>edited by Proudmama012 on 10/06/2012</em>
