Micturitional disturbances due to labial adhesion.
We report 2 cases of micturitional disturbances due to labial adhesion. Two women, aged 78 and 77 years old, visited our hospital with chief complaints of difficult voiding and urinary retention. On examination, their labias were found to be extensively fused. In both cases, the labial adhesions were separated by surgical repair under spinal anesthesia. Gentamicin and steroid ointments were used to prevent readhesion of the labia postoperatively.
