Overeem K, Van Duijn B. Een jong meisje met verkleefde schaamlippen. Huisarts Wet 2011;54(1):29–31.

Een verkleving van de schaamlippen, ook wel synechia vulvae genaamd, kan optreden bij prepuberale meisjes. Huisartsen kunnen deze aandoening goed diagnosticeren en behandelen. Synechia vulvae is in de meeste gevallen self-limiting en asymptomatisch. Soms treden er echter complicaties op in de vorm van urineweginfecties (20%), vaginitis (8,6%), nadruppelen (7,3%) en vaker plassen (13%). Behandeling is aan te bevelen als deze secundaire problemen optreden. Synechia vulvae is te behandelen met corticosteroïdcrème of oestrogeencrème. In deze klinische les beschrijven we een meisje van anderhalf jaar oud met synechia vulvae, dat in de eerste lijn werd gediagnosticeerd en gevolgd.

Abstract

Overeem K, Van Duijn B. Labial adhesion in a young girl. Huisarts Wet 2011;54(1):29–31.

Labial adhesion (synechia vulvae) can occur in prepubertal girls. The conditon can be diagnosed and managed by general practitioners. Labial adhesion is usually asymptomatic and selflimiting, although secondary problems can occur, such as urinary tract infections (20%), vaginitis (8.6%), post-void dripping (3.7%), and increased urination frequency (13%). Treatment is recommended if secondary problems develop. Labial adhesions are treated with a corticosteroid or oestrogen-containing cream. This case report describes the diagnosis and management of labial fusion in a 1.5-year-old girl in primary care.
