Labia fusion

The so-called labia fusion means that the vulva part of some little girls, especially the labia minora part, sticks to each other without the normal separation. Some of the labia fusions are partially adhered, while others are almost completely closed. Therefore, the appearance of labial fusion often causes various degrees of urinary tract symptoms. At the same time, if they are not carefully examined, they are often ignored and treated as other conditions. Clinically, these girls often have difficulty urination, frequent urination, or dripping urine. In urine culture, bacterial growth can be seen, of which E. coli is the most common, and it is manifested in the case of acute inflammation. Some children will have urinary tract obstruction, which causes intermittent and interrupted urine flow when urinating. In addition, some children block the opening of the urethra because the labia are stuck together, so they will spread out like water when urinating, and will drip out after urinating, so that the underwear will be wet. Some urine even collects in the vagina and then flows out slowly.
