What is labial agglutination?
The labia are thin folds of skin around a girl’s vagina. When a young girl’s labia are stuck together, this is called labial agglutination. Sometimes the skin covers part or all of the opening of the vagina. Sometimes the skin also covers part of the urethra, where urine comes out. Labial agglutination is also called “labial adhesion” or “fused labia”. However, the labia are not permanently stuck or fused together. Labial agglutination is usually painless. In fact, most parents and children do not notice the condition until a parent or doctor sees the genital area. In some cases, the condition is noticed because the skin is interfering with urination.
