Vaginal stenosis (gynatresia) is commonly congenital, occurring as a part of Mayer-Kustner-Hauser syndrome. Those occurring postabortal or postpartum are rarely seen nowadays. Here, we report two cases, one in which there was complete stenosis postpartum following a retained gauze and another case, with chemical vaginal burns following attempted abortion by a local untrained midwife.

Background: Intrauterine synechiae (IS) is an acquired uterine condition that occurs when scar tissues (adhesions) form within the uterus and/or cervix, causing menstrual disturbance. However, approximately 50% of patients with IS are refractory to treatment. Therefore, other endocrine disturbances, such as gonadotropin disturbance, may affect treatment success.

Article Synopsis
- A 16-year study at University College Hospital in Ibadan, Nigeria, analyzed the causes, symptoms, and management outcomes of Acquired Gynatresia (AG) in 31 women, with an average age of 35.6 years, mostly married and educated.
- The main cause of AG was the use of caustic substances in the vagina, primarily for treating uterine fibroids and infertility, with a significant portion of women experiencing dyspareunia and infertility.
- Despite an increase in education and healthcare access, there is a lack of awareness about the risks of inserting harmful substances, underscoring the importance of improving health education on AG and its complications.

Asherman syndrome is a rare acquired clinical condition resulting in the obliteration of the uterine cavity causedby the presence of partial or complete fibrous intrauterine adhesions involving at least two-thirds of the uterine cavity potentially obstructing the internal cervical orifice. Common reported symptoms of the disease are alterations of the menstrual pattern with decreased menstrual bleeding leading up to amenorrhoea and infertility. Hysteroscopy is currently considered the gold standard diagnostic and therapeutic approach for patients with intrauterine adhesions.
