Labial fusion is when the labia minora of the vulva fuse together. This most commonly occurs in prepubertal age group(0.6%-5%).(1) This condition rarely occurs in adults and even in adults it is seen in post menopausal women and may result in urinary incontinence.(2) It is extremely rare in women of reproductive age group and only a few cases have been reported so far.(3) We here report a case of a 25 year old female with asymptomatic labial fusion with no history of voiding difficulty, dyspareunia who presented to us at term in labour.
