The labia become fused lightly after birth anything up to the age of two years, due to local inflammation coupled with a bit of atrophy. The treatment is very simple - oestrogen cream applied daily by smearing on a small amount, which the mother can do. Within a week or ten days the labia separate again and all is back to normal. This doesn't need a referral to a specialist, unless of course, you didn't know about the condition and therefore didn't know what the treatment is either. stray Fatih Demirtola wrote: > premarin cream . > > Fatih Demirtola , MD. > Obstetrician&Gynecologist > Ankara / Turkey >> ----- Original Message ----- > From: "James Quekett" <quekett@doctors.org.uk> > To: "Multiple recipients of list OB-GYN-L" <ob-gyn-l@mail.medispecialty.com> > Sent: Friday, October 25, 2002 10:53 AM > Subject: Labia Minora Fusion > > > I am a General Practitioner in the U.K and I have a case where the Labia > > Minora have become congenitally fused although the is still a midline > > depression so upon initial examination at birth I think this may have > > been missed ( I did not perform the initial exam). > > I will be referring on for a specialist opinion but I would be grateful > > if anyone has any information out of interest as I have not come across > > this before.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
