Question
The small labia of a 3-month-old baby are adhered together, making the vaginal opening not visible. I just discovered this today (but I can see a shallow seam in the middle of the small labia; I haven’t tried to see if it can be separated). This way, the vaginal opening is not visible. I’m worried that she might not have a vagina. I would appreciate any help: I would like to ask how to solve this situation? Is this considered not having a vagina?
Answer
The baby is only 9 months old, and it is normal for physical growth and development to be incomplete at this stage. Based on your description, this is not pathological, and there is no need to worry. Suggestion: There is no need for treatment at the moment. If the parents are still concerned, they can go to the hospital’s outpatient department for a consultation with a surgeon for a specific examination.
