Labial adhesions are paper thin attachments between the inner walls of the opening of the vagina.
These commonly occur in girls under a year of age. The skin of this part of the vagina occasionally becomes irritated from various causes including bubble bath, contact with urine or feces, or reasons we can't identify. But because of the close proximity of the labia to each other, when they heal, they sometimes become attached to each other. Sometimes these adhesions may be able to be separated by gently pulling the labia apart. However, often they are quite soundly stuck together.
