The treatment for labial fusion depends on the severity of the condition and the symptoms. In mild cases without symptoms, watchful waiting is often recommended as the condition may resolve spontaneously with time and the onset of puberty. Treatment options include:
Topical Estrogen Creams: These can be applied to the affected area to help separate the fused labia. They are usually effective and safe, although some temporary side effects like local irritation or pigmentation changes may occur. Topical Steroid Creams: These may be used if estrogen creams are ineffective or if there is significant inflammation. Surgical Intervention: Rarely necessary, but may be considered if the fusion is severe, persistent, and causing substantial symptoms.
