Article Synopsis
- Hymeneal imperforation is a rare genital malformation identified during emergencies, often leading to symptoms like pelvic pain and primary amenorrhoea, confirmed through clinical evaluation and imaging like ultrasound.
- A 13-year-old girl experienced abdominal pain and distension due to hematocolpos caused by an imperforate hymen, requiring surgical intervention to release a significant amount of collected blood.
- If untreated, an imperforate hymen can lead to serious complications, making early diagnosis and timely surgical treatment critical, especially since symptoms commonly arise during menarche.
