Presented are two cases of imperforate hymen with hematocolpos seen in a pediatric emergency department (ED) during a seven-month period. The first case presented with abdominal pain, urinary obstruction, and constipation on initial visit.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
An analysis is presented of the salient embryologic, clinical, and radiologic features of the 41 cases gathered.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
We recommend the limited use of vaginal biopsies in the face of a typical vaginitis presentation, and aggressive treatment to promote mucosa healing when biopsies are required.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Here, we present a case of LeFort colpocleisis in which excessive anticoagulation led to an infected hematocolpos and persistent bleeding. This was successfully managed with a Bakri balloon via a vaginal channel without recurrence of her prolapse.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
One of them presented a very rare onset complaining of acute urinary retention. The other patient was referred for difficulty in micturition and abdominal pain which is the most common symptom of this entity.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The epidermal disease was likely precipitated by Mycoplasma pneumoniaepneumonia. The patient presented with lower abdominal cramping and amenorrhea that had persisted for 5 months.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Invariably this complex of anomalies is seen in adolescents and young women with progressively severeabdominalpain, menstrual irregularities, and a pelvic mass.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The girl complained of severeabdominalpain, which appeared with each of her menses. The intervention was performed by a vaginoscopic approach to preserve the integrity of the hymen.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Hematocolpos should be on the list of differential diagnoses in adolescent girls with primary amenorrhea who present with any of the following: cyclic recurrentabdominalpain; persistent lower abdominal and back pain; perineal pain and pressure; symptoms[consultant360.com]

The embryogenesis of müllerian duct abnormalities, associated clinical findings, including abdominaltenderness and pelvic mass, diagnostic modalities of cystoscopy, excretory urography, laparoscopy and hysterosalpinography are discussed.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Hematocolpos should be included in the differential diagnosis of prepubertal girls who have lowbackpain.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Lowbackpain resulting from hematocolpos has been reported previously but not associated with symptoms of sciatica or neurologic weakness.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
A large hematocolpos may cause persistent abdominal and lowbackpain due to pressure or by causing endometriosis, hydrosalpinx, hydroureter, or hydronephrosis.[consultant360.com]

It is often caused by the combination of menstruation with an imperforatehymen . [1] [2] It is sometimes seen in Robinow syndrome , uterus didelphys , or other vaginal anomalies .[en.wikipedia.org]
Ultrasound and subsequent surgery confirmed the physical findings in the ED of imperforatehymen and hematocolpos. Both patients underwent hymenectomy, and they have experienced no further symptoms.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Surgery is always indicated when imperforatehymen becomes symptomatic we report the case of an imperforatehymen who presented late with delayed menarche, massive hematocolpos and hematometra.[omicsonline.org]

While unusual, this case demonstrates that hematocolpos should be considered in patients with a history of epidermal bullous disease and amenorrhea.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Hypothalamic amenorrhea is typically characterized by amenorrhea in the absence of anatomic, chromosomal or organic abnormalities. Often a diagnosis of exclusion, it is one of the most common causes of secondary amenorrhea [7].[file.scirp.org]
Common symptoms associated with this disorder include amenorrhea or dysmenorrhea in premenopausal women, pelvic pain or pressure, urinary frequency and retention.[medcrave.com]
The most common cause of hematocolpos is an imperforate hymen, which is associated with primary amenorrhea. Primary amenorrhea also is present when hematocolpos is caused by a complete transverse vaginal septum, vaginal agenesis, or vaginal atresia.[consultant360.com]
The imperforate hymen is the simplest defect that results in primary amenorrhea. It may be associated with cyclic pelvic pain and a mass kidnapping perirectal with blood in vagina (hematocolpos).[new.medigraphic.com]

Primaryamenorrhea and cyclical lower abdominal pain are the chief presenting complaints of hematocolpos . A specific association of uterus didelphys, unilateral hematocolpos and ipsilateral renal agenesis has been described.[diki.pl]
CONCLUSION: Physicians should be aware of transverse vaginal septum in the differential diagnosis of hematocolpos with abdominal pain and primaryamenorrhea in the early adolescent years.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Outcome and Prognosis Clinical outcome and prognosis generally are good; one study found pregnancy success more likely following surgical correction of an imperforate hymen than following repair of a complete transverse septum. [ 33 ] The retrograde menses[emedicine.medscape.com]
Synonyms/Description Hydrometra and hydrocolpos Pyometra and pyocolpos Etiology The most common etiology is cervical or vaginal obstruction, resulting in a collection of blood, pus, or fluid that distends the uterus or vagina.[clinicalgate.com]
Clinicians must be aware of atypical presentations and potential multifactorial etiologies of amenorrhea. Ensuring a thorough evaluation is essential in order to mitigate long-term effects of a misdiagnosis.[file.scirp.org]
Pathophysiology The cause of Hematocolpos can vary, but almost exclusively involves physical obstruction of the reproductive tract, leading to a backup of menstrual blood which accumulates proximal to the obstruction.[nursespost.com]
