Doctor, could you please take a look at my daughter as soon as possible? She's not looking right here, and there's also a problem with urination. "A mother rushed into the gynecological clinic with a little girl in a hurry. It turned out that when my grandmother was washing the farts of 5-year-old Duoduo, she found that Duoduo had a strange growth in her private area. There was only a small fissure in her external genitalia, no labia minora, only the clitoris could be seen, and her urination was still forked. Grandma quickly told Duoduo's mother, which led to the scene above. According to the doctor's diagnosis, Duoduo's condition is called labia minora adhesions, and treatment is necessary to return to normal. Otherwise, symptoms of urinary tract infections may occur, and it may even affect growth and development. What is adhesion of the labia minora? The normal labia minora is a thin, immature tissue that grows on the inner side of the labia minora, forming a herringbone shape from below the clitoris. The labia minora on both sides often close and close, forming a natural defense barrier between the urethra and vagina. Labial adhesions refer to the complete or partial adhesion of the labia minora on both sides, forming a semi transparent band in the middle that covers the urethral and vaginal opening. The adhesion of labia minora is a common gynecological disease in female babies, with a incidence rate of 0.6%~5%, mostly occurring between 3 months and 6 years old. However, the clinical findings in recent years show that the incidence rate of this disease has gradually increased. There are several reasons for labial adhesions in infants and young children: 1. The vaginal environment is different from that of adults. After birth, the mother's estrogen levels decrease, and lactobacilli are non dominant bacteria with low resistance and susceptibility to infection from other bacteria. The vaginal epithelium is thin, and there is a lack of glycogen in the cells, which reduces local resistance and can easily lead to labial adhesions. 2. Female infants and young children have immature genitalia, and the labia majoris cannot cover the labia minora and urethral opening well, leading to weak local resistance, susceptibility to infection, and causing congestion and exudation of the external genitalia, leading to adhesions. 3. Many parents love to use diapers for their female babies for a long time, and do not replace them in a timely manner, or the wiping sequence of urine and urine is improper, or there are foreign objects in the vagina. These unhealthy hygiene and lifestyle habits can easily cause chronic inflammation and stimulation, leading to adhesion of the labia minora. The health impact of labia minora adhesions on girls cannot be underestimated and must be highly valued by parents. Firstly, due to the adhesion of the labia minora, which blocks the passage of urine flow, it often leads to blocked urine flow, bifurcated urine lines, and residual urine stains inside, which can easily stimulate the tender labia minora, exacerbating the adhesion and causing itching and discomfort in the perineum. The most severe symptoms may also include urinary tract infections. Secondly, the labia minora has the function of protecting the urethral opening and hymen from trauma, so adhesion of the labia minora must be separated in a timely manner, otherwise it will affect its growth and development, and menstruation will not flow normally as it grows up, affecting women's physiological functions. Therefore, preventing adhesion of the labia minora in girls is very important. 1. When cleaning the baby's anus every day, the first thing to do is to wash your hands and use a dedicated fart basin. Do not use shower gel or soap, and clean with warm water. 2. When taking a shower, clean other parts of the body first in order, and then rinse the buttocks with water. Fat babies have a lot of tight flesh in their thighs and perineum, which can be gently peeled off before cleaning. After washing, dry them with a soft towel. 3. The perineum should not be cleaned too frequently, just once a day
