Compared to newborn boys, girls are more prone to physiological problems, especially in the perineum area. However, when their children experience these symptoms, parents often feel at a loss because they do not know whether to go to pediatrics or gynecology. So, what department should be used for pediatric labial adhesions?
Firstly, the occurrence of labial adhesions in children is an abnormal situation. Both gynecological and pediatric departments can handle it. Generally, gynecological departments are better because obstetricians and gynecologists are more familiar with this condition. If it is severe, surgery is needed to separate it to avoid affecting the child's normal life in the future.
If the symptoms are not severe and only slightly stick together, parents can give her some topical ointment, apply it slightly on the outside of the affected area, and then gently massage it with their hands. After that, it will separate on its own, but remember not to forcefully operate it. It should be done 2-3 times a day until it is completely separated. The use of ointment should also be adhered to, and after each use, the baby should be cleaned with water.
If the degree of adhesion is severe, doctors usually recommend surgery, and then the child must be treated properly to ensure the cleanliness of the wound, because if infected, it may also cause other dangerous diseases.
