My 6-year-old daughter has fusion of the labia discovered when she had a urinary infection. Her doctor has separated them with a probe which hurts and they fuse together again despite applying Vaseline as the doctor suggested.
She is now terrified of anyone looking except me (her mother) and says there is no problem. What should I do?
You could apply an oestrogen cream to the labia twice a day as this will encourage the fused area to break down without any trauma. This will happen anyway with the surge of oestrogen at puberty and if it is not causing any problems you might wait until then. If she suffers repeated urine infections then it should be dealt with now.
