My godchild was precribed PREMARIN CREME for a labia fusion….the skin is connected. Her mother was told that the Premarin Creme will break down the labia tissue, thus opening the fusion? I am not comfortable with a 3 yr. old child using HORMONES? Has anyone else ever heard of this treatment?
Is anyone familiar with a child of 3 being prescribed PREMARIN CREME for a labia fusion?

Yes I have heard of using this. Labial fusion is most commonly noted between 3 months and 4 years of age. It is considered to be an acquired condition secondary to hypoestrogenism and vulvovaginitis.Treatment is recommended since stagnation of urine behind the fused labia might lead to asymptomatic bacteriuria and urinary tract infection.
I understand not wanting to use hormones but here the parents have the childs best interest at heart.
The American Medical Association recommends no treatment for this condition – they say the fusion will go away by the time the child reaches menstrual age.
Maybe the mother should ask for a second opinion.
