Assessment of the Mouth01:26

Assessment of the Mouth

A thorough mouth assessment, including inspection and palpation of the lips, gums, tongue, tonsils, uvula, and pharynx, is crucial in detecting potential health issues. Diseases ranging from oral cancer to systemic conditions like diabetes could be identified early through careful oral examination. This article provides a detailed guide on conducting a comprehensive mouth assessment.
Mouth Inspection
The inspection begins with visually examining the mouth for symmetry, color, and size.
Adhesion01:14

Adhesion

Adhesion occurs when one type of molecule is attracted to a different molecule. Water exhibits adhesive properties in the presence of polar surfaces, such as glass or cellulose in plants. For instance, when water is poured into a glass, the positively charged hydrogen molecules of water are more attracted to the negatively charged oxygen molecules in the silica than to the oxygen in neighboring water molecules.
Capillary action is a result of water’s adhesive tendencies. When a narrow glass...
Herpes01:28

Herpes

Herpes simplex type 1 (HSV‑1) is a widespread pathogen responsible for orolabial lesions. It is an enveloped, double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) virus belonging to the family Herpesviridae. Once the virus infects a host cell, its double‑stranded DNA genome is delivered into the nucleus, where a coordinated cascade of immediate‑early, early, and late gene expression directs viral DNA replication, structural protein synthesis, and virion assembly. After primary infection of epithelial cells, HSV-1...

Summary

Labial adhesion, a rare condition in adult women, often presents in postmenopausal individuals. Surgical intervention is frequently necessary for complete labial fusion, with histopathology confirming the diagnosis.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Gynecology
  • Dermatology

Background:

  • Labial adhesion involves fusion of the labia minora, a rare condition in adult women.
  • Literature reviews indicate a low incidence, with only 112 cases documented over 38 years.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the clinical presentation and management of labial adhesion in adult women.
  • To contribute to the limited existing literature on this rare condition.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective study analyzed 12 years of patient data from a Plastic Surgery Department.
  • Three adult female patients (ages 67-79) with complete labial fusion were identified and their cases reviewed.
  • Demographic data, clinical presentation, risk factors, surgical findings, outcomes, and histopathology were summarized.

Main Results:

  • All three identified patients had complete labial fusion and symptomatic complications requiring surgery.
  • Histopathological examination revealed diverse tissue changes.
  • All patients had a one-year follow-up period.

Conclusions:

  • Labial coalescence in adult women is rare and often associated with the postmenopausal period.
  • Complete labial coalescence necessitates surgical intervention, as topical therapies are ineffective.
  • Histopathological examination is vital for accurate diagnosis.
