Apparently, occasionally it happens to women who tear on the labia and who have low estrogen levels (those who breastfeed do)- where you tore will actually attach itself to the other side as it heals. Talk about fun getting cut open right after the trauma of birth! It is more common to occur spontaneously in young girls and post menopausal women because of their low estrogen levels. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-girls#post-349448 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 00:30:32 +0000 pinkcupcake 349448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never heard of this before! It sounds scary but im Glad it will resolve on its own! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-girls#post-347749 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 16:03:44 +0000 SugarplumsMom 347749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm also wondering if I should Google this. So glad it's nothing too serious. Now I'm wondering about DD's bits ;o </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-girls#post-347736 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 15:58:15 +0000 blackbird 347736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>=O </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-girls#post-347704 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 15:50:18 +0000 DpeachLu 347704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh my! The things you never hear about in person! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-girls#post-347685 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 15:44:29 +0000 polkadots 347685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: my Lo has it. I don't think its something to worry about. Our pediatrician wasn't concerned, he just checks it at our appointments and he said it should just fix itself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-girls#post-347528 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 14:52:23 +0000 mrsjazz 347528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jennylynn: I didn't notice it :( Once the pediatrician pointed it out I could see it. I think you could miss it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-girls#post-347484 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 14:41:35 +0000 jennylynn 347484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: I've never heard of this. Is it something noticeable? Like if I was looking for it, would I recognize it as abnormal? Our ped. has never mentioned it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-girls#post-347475 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 14:40:03 +0000 Smurfette 347475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: I know. Crazy. Her doctor first said something to her about it at the year appointment. But I guess her and her husband forgot to much to separate and put the cream on it when doing diaper changes. It was a quick surgery and she was back to herself within a day or two. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-girls#post-347463 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 14:37:04 +0000 mrsjazz 347463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: AAAAH! Surgery scares me. Surgery on LOs bits?!?! No way. I will be calling the pediatrician again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-girls#post-347458 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 14:36:02 +0000 T.H.O.U. 347458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I dont' know what this even means</p> <p>My little girl did have some bleeding her first week home. I was glad that I had read about it online because even my mom didn't know that could happen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-girls#post-347439 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 14:31:28 +0000 Mrs. Pen 347439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>wow that's crazy!!! so glad it doesn't seem to bother her though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-girls#post-347437 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 14:30:33 +0000 Smurfette 347437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My cousin's daughter had this. I think she was around 3 when she had to have surgery cause her's had completely closed up. Now it is fine. So definitely keep an eye on it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-girls#post-347432 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 14:28:56 +0000 mrsjazz 347432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: What I've read about it says that sometimes a rash or irritation can cause their bits (I can't type that word again) to become fused as a way to fight infection. </p> <p>I don't even know how long LO has actually had this as we switched to a new pediatrician (same practice, different location) and this Dr. was way more thorough in her examination. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-girls#post-347426 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 14:26:13 +0000 Mrsbells 347426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: I seriously think my LO has this too. She has had a rash lately and I've been very thoroughly wiping her and I thought it looked a bit "fused" but I decided not to worry about it because the pediatrician always checks her and hasnt mentioned anything about it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-girls#post-347419 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 14:24:03 +0000 LivsMama 347419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>uhhh I dont even know about this either...im afraid to google but I have to </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-girls#post-347411 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 14:21:10 +0000 mrs. bird 347411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i had no idea that could happen! did they say it will unfuse itself or will it need to be corrected later? hope it is something that can fix itself, poor LO! glad it isn't bothersome for her though </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-girls#post-347410 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 14:20:41 +0000 prettylizy 347410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never heard of this. Dr Google tells me it sorts itself out. O the things you learn </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-girls#post-347396 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 14:17:48 +0000 mrsjazz 347396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha. It does sound unpleasant, but the pediatrician assured me that it wasn't for LO. It's the um, inner region that is fused basically. I felt like a bad mom for not noticing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-girls#post-347388 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 14:16:02 +0000 tororojo 347388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OMG that sounds unpleasant. I have no experience with it...am trying to decide whether to google or not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-girls#post-347362 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 14:09:16 +0000 mrsjazz 347362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fused Labia?!?!?!?!</p> <p>I didn't want to make that the title of the post, I can't even say it out loud :)</p> <p>At LOs 6-month appt. the Dr. told me that LO has fused labia and that it's common in baby girl's once mom's estrogen leaves the system and that it can last up until age 3! She said we don't need to do anything right now.</p> <p>The things you learn being a parent. </p>
