Causes of vaginal adhesions

Many of our careful parents always find that their children's vaginal openings are sticking during the process of raising children. This is also a symptom that occurs frequently in many children. Parents are particularly worried and do not understand what this symptom of their children is. There are many parents who have no common sense about such symptoms. If children have vaginal opening adhesions, it is easy for them to have many gynecological diseases. So what is the cause of vaginal opening adhesions?

Vaginal adhesion is caused by inflammation in the early stage. If adhesions are not taken seriously, especially in children who are in the growth period, the adhesions at the vaginal opening will become more severe.

It may be vulvovaginitis caused by unclean vulva, which is caused by low estrogen levels, thin vaginal epithelium, and low glycogen, which makes it easy to be infected by other bacteria, leading to purulent secretions. When ulcers occur, adhesions of the labia minora occur. It may also be congenital hymen atresia.

During outpatient clinic work, some parents anxiously claimed that their babies "have no vagina" and requested diagnosis and treatment. Examination revealed that the labia majora were normal.

The labia minora on both sides adhere to form a membrane-like skin in the midline, covering the normal vaginal vestibule. A small hole is seen near the clitoris at the upper end of the adhesion.

The discharge from this hole is clinically known as labia minora adhesion. The treatment is very simple. Use a sterilized round-tipped probe or small curved forceps to insert the needle through the small hole at the top.

Insert it and gradually separate it downward along the adhesion of the labia minora. The adhesion can be completely separated without causing bleeding and the baby will feel no pain. Then in separation

Apply a small amount of paraffin or ointment to the adhesive surface of the labia minora on both sides after insertion. To prevent adhesions from happening again, parents can wash their baby's

After vaginal excision, still apply a small amount of ointment and persist for a week.

Labia minora adhesion: generally caused by vulvar inflammation, a layer of gray, slightly transparent film connects the labia minora together. The vaginal opening cannot be seen from the outside, and it is easily misdiagnosed as a congenital malformation. Apply estrogen cold cream to the adhesion twice a day. It will usually separate naturally in 10 to 14 days. If it still has not separated, use a small curved forceps to insert the small hole at the front end and slowly move backwards to separate it.

Congenital absence of vagina: commonly known as "stone girl". This deformity is difficult to detect when one is young, and is usually discovered after marriage when one is unable to have sexual intercourse. Because the ovaries and uterus develop normally, but menstrual blood cannot be discharged and is retained in the uterine cavity, it can cause uterine enlargement and abdominal pain, which is also the basis for early diagnosis. Girls with congenital absence of vagina undergo vaginal dilation or vaginal reconstruction before menarche.

You should take your child to a regular hospital's pediatric gynecology department for a check-up, and everything will be clear. Based on what you said alone, it is difficult for me to make a diagnosis based on the principle of making a clear diagnosis and not delaying the patient, as I did not see it with my own eyes. But I can tell you clearly that after examination and regular treatment, the child will not have any problems, and it will not have any major impact on the body.

Adhesions at the child's vaginal opening must be treated promptly. You should pay attention to the child's symptoms to see if it is really an adhesion. If it is, you should promptly use methods to remove the phenomenon. However, if the symptoms are not serious and have no effect on the child, you can choose not to treat the child. Don't worry too much about the child's symptoms to avoid affecting your own emotions.
