title: Labial adhesions presenting as urinary incontinence in postmenopausal women.
abstract: Most discussion on labial adhesions is about the pediatric group. A case is presented of a postmenopausal woman whose main complaint was urinary incontinence. Etiology, symptoms, signs, and diagnosis are discussed. Guidelines for treatment and prevention are proposed. Because the number of postmenopausal women is steadily increasing, it is important to draw attention to this condition.
