How to treat the adhesion of the labia majora and labia minora

Patient's question:

My daughter is 1 year and 10 months old. Since it's her first child, I don't know much and haven't paid much attention. Recently, I noticed that her labia majora and labia minora are stuck together, and I can see a thin layer of membrane in the middle. I wash her buttocks every day and have applied erythromycin ointment, but it hasn't helped. I really don't know what to do.

Doctor's answer:

If the adhesion is mild, you can gently separate it and apply erythromycin ointment. If the adhesion is severe, surgical treatment may be necessary. It is essential to pay attention to hygiene in the perineal area and clean the perineum frequently. I recommend taking your child to the hospital to see a professional doctor, listen to the doctor's advice before starting treatment, and seek appropriate care. Labial adhesion in infants is a common pediatric gynecological condition in daily life, so there is no need to worry excessively. The above suggestions are for the question "My daughter is 1 year and 10 months old." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
