Primary amenorrhea secondary to imperforate hymen

Clin Case Rep. 2022 Apr 26;10(4):e05786. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.5786. eCollection 2022 Apr.

Abstract

Hymen imperforation is uncommon. Symptoms include primary amenorrhea, cyclical lower abdominal pain, and rarely a pelvic mass syndrome. Delayed discovery may lead to endometriosis and infertility. Pelvic ultrasound and nuclear magnetic resonance detect associated genito-urinary malformations. Hymenectomy is the standard surgical treatment.

Keywords: genito‐urinary malformations; hematocolpos; hymen; ultrasound – MRI.
