FERREIRA, Patrícia Gomes; FERREIRA, Vânia  and  MAK, Foo Kok. Complete labial fusion and urinary retention in a postmenopausal woman. Acta Obstet Ginecol Port [online]. 2023, vol.17, n.4, pp.319-320.  Epub Dec 31, 2023. ISSN 1646-5830.

Complete labial fusion is a rare cause of urinary retention and typically presents at the extremes of age. Oestrogen deficiency, chronic inflammation, local trauma and lack of sexual activity may predispose to the appearance of labial fusion. The authors present a recurrence case of a postmenopausal woman with urinary retention associated with labial fusion.

Keywords : Labial fusion; Urinary retention; Menopause.
