I looked again last night and I'm seeing all the parts I'm supposed to see. I don't think it's closed up but I'm not a doctor. If her cultures come back positive this morning then I'll do the cream too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/labial-adhesions#post-2535509 Wed, 27 Apr 2016 22:51:55 +0000 Grace 2535509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine had a labial fusion and I used the estrogen cream to open it up. I don't like hormones either, but I'm not monkeying around with UTIs. There's research that once you get one UTI, you are more likely to get a second and I want to put that off as long as possible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/labial-adhesions#post-2535258 Wed, 27 Apr 2016 16:08:37 +0000 twodoghouse 2535258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter had a minor labial adhesion, but it went away on its own by the time she was maybe 14-15 months? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/labial-adhesions#post-2535247 Wed, 27 Apr 2016 15:55:06 +0000 erinpye 2535247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My youngest had them for a while, the doctor kept pushing the estrogen cream, but I felt uncomfortable and waited to see if they would resolve-- they did. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/labial-adhesions#post-2535168 Wed, 27 Apr 2016 13:58:22 +0000 LindsayLou 2535168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sunshine: Yeah, if it had been any less extreme, I would have just waited. Hers was totally zipped up if that makes sense. She has never liked to sit, and I wonder if part of that is that it was uncomfortable for her. We used the cream 2 months ago and have had no issues since. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/labial-adhesions#post-2535147 Wed, 27 Apr 2016 13:32:50 +0000 Ajsmommy 2535147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD had one, no uti's but ped caught it at her 8 mos apt I believe. we used the cream for about 2 weeks after baths (2-3 times a week, so 4-6 times total). it cleared up and we stopped and no issues since and she's now 2.5 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/labial-adhesions#post-2535144 Wed, 27 Apr 2016 13:27:26 +0000 Madison43 2535144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO1 had one she was born but it went away by her first birthday I believe. Her ped actually pointed it out to me and said it was nothing to worry about - although considering I didn't notice it until he showed me, I imagine it was minor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/labial-adhesions#post-2535140 Wed, 27 Apr 2016 13:21:57 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2535140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayLou: I tend to err on the side of natural medicine as well. Thanks for chiming in.<br /> @PinkElephant: thanks for sharing. I'm thinking I may wait to see if DD does indeed have a UTI before I decide to use any kind of hormonal cream on her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/labial-adhesions#post-2535118 Wed, 27 Apr 2016 13:10:17 +0000 PinkElephant 2535118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One of my daughters had one that seemed to come on after she had a horrible diaper rash. It was fairly significant, but there was still an opening for urine to pass (and wasn't bothering her).</p> <p>Our pediatrician's advice was that if we used cream to open it, it would probably come and go until she hit puberty. We opted to leave it alone, and it returned to normal on its own after a number of months (ie a long time). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/labial-adhesions#post-2535110 Wed, 27 Apr 2016 13:06:29 +0000 LindsayLou 2535110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter had one, it was on the more extreme side, and I did end up using the estrogen cream. I was hesitant, as I usually err on the side of natural medecine, and dislike using anything hormone related for myself, much less my infant.</p> <p>Our pediatrician said that it can go away over time in some cases, but we saw no improvement from my daughter's 4 month check up to her 6 month. Basically, the adhesion can cause urine to pool, which can cause reoccurring infections. It can also make sitting cross legged uncomfortable. </p> <p>When I decided to use the cream, it went away in about a week and half. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/labial-adhesions#post-2535088 Wed, 27 Apr 2016 12:48:17 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2535088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Took DD in for a suspected UTI this morning, she wasn't able to give us a sample (we have get one at home and bring it back) but he checked her out and noticed some labial adhesions that may be causing some of her symptoms. He prescribed her an estrogen cream. I don't know much about this but some websites say they can go away on their own. If her cultures come back negative would the cream be necessary? I don't really know. Any experience is welcome. </p>
