Labial fusion or labial adhesion can rarely be encountered postmenopausal and may be diagnosed in advanced stages especially in sexually inactive women. It may be a rare cause of voiding dysfunction or urinary retention. We present a case of a postmenopausal woman presenting with urinary retention due to complete labial fusion. The patient was treated both with topical estrogen and surgical separation of labial fusion. No recurrences developed after the procedure. Topical estrogen treatment may not resolve adhesions in postmenopausal women and invasive procedures may be necessary to resolve urinary retention.
阴唇融合或阴唇粘连在绝经后很少见，尤其在性活动不活跃的女性中可能在晚期才被诊断出来。它可能是排尿功能障碍或尿潴留的罕见原因。我们报告一例因完全阴唇融合导致尿潴留的绝经后女性病例。该患者接受了局部雌激素治疗和阴唇融合手术分离。术后未出现复发情况。局部雌激素治疗可能无法解决绝经后女性的粘连问题，可能需要采取侵入性手术来解决尿潴留。
