Synechia vulvae is the most common problem of young children. We can find it in so called rest period, in the time of low levels

of women´s sexual hormons in blood. If parents don´t take care well about external genitalias, dirt and smegma glue together

opposite epithelium of vestibuli vaginae and synechia can occure. This illnes doesn´t make any problem to affected child, we

can find it accidentally during check-up. Problems together with this illness can sometimes occure like enueresis, often urinary

tract inflammation or often vulvovaginitis. Opening of vestibuli vaginae we can make in stage of conglutinatio or in stage of thin

junction. Thick junctions must be treated by thermocauter in general anesthesia. The most important for prevention of synechia

is good care and mechanical dividing opposite parts of epithelium vestibuli vaginae, the best is daily.
