Abstract

Introduction: Vulvovaginitis and labial adhesion are the most common gynecological morbidity among girls and adolescents. Even though pediatricians or family physicians should be capable of dealing with these "ailments", in Israel, these patients are referred to gynecologists because physicians from these two medical specialties are deterred to treat these populations. Treatment is based on softening and antibiotic creams applied locally. In the current relevant literature the present notion regarding these two pathologies is shifted toward follow-up and habit changes in terms of proper hygiene and clothing. In the present review the relevant current literature is examined and updated recommendations are suggested.
