Description

Fused labia is an acquired condition that generally affects otherwise normal girls in the first few years of life. It occurs when the inner surfaces of the labia minora become irritated and the 'raw' areas on each side stick together. 

Undescended testis (or cryptorchidism) is a term used to describe the testis that has not descended into, and does not reside in, the scrotum. If left untreated it may result in reduced fertility.  

Encopresis, which is defined as the regular and involuntary passing of faeces into the colon beyond 4 years of age, is a distressing condition for both the child and the family.
