Question 1

My 7-month-old daughter has labial fusion for the past 2 days. My wife cleans her daily but noticed the labia sticking together. She pees fine, but the doctor said it's from infection and prescribed clotrimazole vaginal gel and levofloxacin ornidazole suspension. We started the meds a day ago but no improvement yet. I read it's called labial adhesion should I be worried about surgery at her age? What else can we do?

Accepted Answer

sx opinion is advised.

Question 2

My 2-month-old baby was diagnosed with moderate hydronephrosis in the left kidney showing a dilated renal pelvis and mild cortical thinning, possibly due to PUJ obstruction. The ultrasound showed the left kidney is 5.5x2.4 cm with a 14mm AP diameter of the renal pelvis and slightly reduced cortical thickness. The right kidney looks normal. Do you think surgery is needed or are there other treatment options we should consider first?

Accepted Answer

For a 2-month-old with moderate hydronephrosis due to a possible ureteropelvic junction (PUJ) obstruction, initial treatment often involves watchful waiting and monitoring, along with strategies to prevent urinary tract infections (UTIs). Surgery may be considered if the condition worsens, kidney function is compromised, or if other complications arise

Accepted Answer

The ideal time for tongue tie surgery, or frenotomy, in babies is generally recommended within the first few months, often during the first month of life. While some healthcare providers may prefer a "wait-and-see" approach, especially if the tongue tie is mild, early intervention can be beneficial for some babies, particularly if they are experiencing breastfeeding difficulties
