This study details two elderly women experiencing urinary difficulties caused by labial adhesion. Surgical separation and post-operative ointments successfully resolved the condition, preventing recurrence.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Geriatric Medicine
  • Gynecology

Background:

  • Labial adhesion, the fusion of labia minora, can cause significant health issues in women.
  • Micturitional disturbances, including difficult voiding and urinary retention, are potential complications.

Observation:

  • Two elderly female patients (78 and 77 years old) presented with symptoms of difficult urination and urinary retention.
  • Physical examination revealed extensive fusion of the labia in both patients.

Findings:

  • Surgical separation of the labial adhesions was performed under spinal anesthesia in both cases.
  • Post-operative treatment included gentamicin and steroid ointments to prevent re-adhesion.

Implications:

  • Labial adhesion should be considered in the differential diagnosis of micturitional disturbances in elderly women.
  • Surgical intervention combined with appropriate post-operative care offers an effective treatment for this condition.
