There is no clear-cut effective treatment for labial adhesion, and there is no reason to treat girls in the absence of symptoms. As the condition resolves spontaneously in all, at puberty if not before. Any child with symptoms
that may be due to the adhesion should be referred to a paediatrician.
Healthcare professionals at public health clinics are advised to look for adhesion at check-ups in children aged two years and under. It is important to provide sufficient information – to ensure that parents do not become alarmed if an adhesion is discovered subsequently. It is also important to avoid unnecessary investigation and treatment.
