It's called a labial adhesion and it's very common in girls 3mos to 6yrs. My daughter had it and the doctor separated hers right there in the office. It needs to be separated while she's young in order to save her from frequent bladder and UTI infections. I would def research it and/or get a 2nd opinion.

Vaginal closing in a young girl due to lack of estrogen. It is due to labial adhesion. It happens because the girls do not produce enough estrogen yet. The estrogen keeps the labia moist and prevents them from sticking together. You may want to ask your doctor for more information. An estrogen cream, obtained with a prescription, could be applied to prevent it from closing completely. One place that I checked recommended using regular petroleum jelly for a couple of months on the labial folds. Check out this website
