Suggest Treatment For Labial Adhesions In An Infant

My 9 month old daughter has had labial adhesions for a few months. We have used Vaseline, and now Premarin cream. The hole is now the size of a pinhead. She has only wet 3 diapers today and is very fussy and crying a lot, which is out of character for her. Do I need to take her to a children s hospital?

Pediatrician, Pulmonology 's  Response
Hi...using premarin cream is good, but it involves the correct technique too. You need to rub it twice a day form top to bottom applying some amount of pressure. Then only the result will be effective. usually it may take 1-2 months to get the desired effect. After opening too you need to wash it is the same as described with water daily during bath. This makes the effect permanent.

But as you say its been there for month, I suggest you seek the help of a pediatric surgeon and they will release it surgically. its a day care procedure or office procedure. Do not worry.
