Primary amenorrhoea due to Müllerian malformations is rare, with 1 in 4500 cases and 2%-8% of cases presenting as infertility. Obstructive Müllerian anomalies present as hematometra and hematocolpos during puberty. Timely surgical intervention is required to relieve acute pelvic pain and restore functional anatomy. A 15-year-old girl presented to OPD with complaints of severe pain in her lower abdomen and lower back for the last 2-3 weeks, not relieving on medication. She has not attained menarche and has been having cyclical pain and low backache for 7-8 days every month for the last year. Physical examination showed a suprapubic lump with vaginal agenesis. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed hematometrocolpos due to transverse vaginal septum and distal vaginal atresia. Pull-through vaginoplasty along with complete excision of transverse vaginal septum was performed. Vaginal dilator therapy was done after the healing of the sutures. In follow-up, the patient attained menstruation with a patent vagina. Obstructive Müllerian anomalies should be identified early by detailed clinical examination and targeted investigations to prevent long-term morbidity and infertility.

There are a variety of surgical conditions impacting the canine vagina and vestibule that require access through a caudal approach. A standard vertical episiotomy involves making an incision beginning ventral to the anus and extending ventrally through the dorsal commissure of the vulva and into the lumen of the vestibule and distal vagina. The objective of this study was to determine if complex vaginal procedures could be performed via a transverse perineal approach, thus eliminating the need to incise and reconstruct the vulva as performed in a standard episiotomy, and to evaluate the feasibility of vaginal resection with vulvar-sparing vestibular urethrostomy using this transverse approach.

Childbirth is a dynamic process involving mutual adaptation between the maternal pelvis and the presenting fetal part. The ability of the pelvis to maintain optimal mobility during labor plays a crucial role in achieving favorable obstetric outcomes. The pubic arch angle (PAA) increases amplitude during pregnancy, showing pelvic tissue adjustment.

Racial differences in the levator ani muscle and levator hiatus in individuals of reproductive age.

Background: Most studies on pelvic floor muscle morphology (dimensions, shape) and its relationship with patient characteristic risk factors of pelvic floor dysfunction (demographics, medical history) have largely pertained to White individuals with vaginas. There is a need to establish normative data on pelvic floor muscle anatomy and identify morphological differences in racially diverse cohorts that may play a role in racial differences in the prevalence and pathophysiology of pelvic floor dysfunction.

Objective: This study aimed to compare levator ani muscle thickness and levator hiatal morphology and their association with patient characteristics, between asymptomatic Black and White women-identifying individuals with a vagina of reproductive age.
