In some cases, however, the labia fuses together to cover the opening of the urethra, which can block the flow of urine and trap urine in the genital area.
While this condition may look worrisome to you as a parent, it usually causes little trouble for your child and resolves on its own.

In normal female anatomy, the labia, or lips of skin that surround the opening to the vagina, are separated.
