Fused labia

 

Sometimes baby girls are born with their labia minora (inner lips of the vagina) fused together by a thin membrane. This can also occasionally happen following an infection or irritation. The opening of the vagina is sometimes covered over. If you suspect that your daughter has this problem, you should see your doctor to discuss its management.
