Hematocolpos Secondary to Acquired Vaginal Scarring After Radiation Therapy for Colorectal Carcinoma

Urinary Retention in an Adolescent with a History of Urethral Transection

“…An imperforate hymen is by far the most common cause, though vaginal septa do also occur, either congenital or acquired. The latter arises from scar tissue after trauma, as in this case, or pelvic radiation therapy (7). There have actually been at least two case reports of patients with urinary retention due to hematocolpos with both imperforate hymen and a congenital transverse vaginal septum (8,9).…”

A rare cause of amenorrhea: Hematocolpos in a post‐cystocele repair patient

“…1 When hematocolpos is observed in adult women, it often occurs secondary to acquired gynecological conditions such as cervical or vaginal atresia, imperforate hymen, or vaginal scarring following surgery or trauma. 2 In some cases, hematocolpos can be associated with Mullerian duct anomalies, which encompass a range of structural defects involving the uterus, cervix, and upper vagina. 3,4 The diagnosis of hematocolpos is typically made through clinical examination and imaging modalities such as transabdominal or transvaginal ultrasonography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or hysterosalpingography.…”
