Q: My 19 months old daughter's vagina is not visible since birth. What is the solution for this?
A:From what I can make out from your query, these could be labial synechiae, which means that the labial lips are fused in the middle by a flimsy membrane. Most likely the vagina is normally developed but is hidden behind this membrane. You may consult a paediatric surgeon in your town who may prescribe a cream that will help separate the membrane.
