Summary
Genital herpes is one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases in Sri Lanka[1]. Abstract Labial adhesions are usually associated with hypo-oestrogenism, but it is a rare complication of genital herpes infection. We present a case report of a 23-year-old woman presenting with primary genital herpes infection, progressing to labial adhesions.
