An unusual case of urinary retention due to imperforate hymen. (1/6)
A 15 year old girl presented to the accident and emergency (A&E) department with a 24 hour history of lower abdominal pain, and was found to have acute urinary retention. She was discovered to have an imperforate hymen with associated haematocolpos and haematometrium. This is rare and is hence a very unusual presentation to the A&E department. Patients presenting with retention of urine should be carefully assessed for the cause.

BACKGROUND: A subgroup of women with Asherman's syndrome has adhesions of limited extent completely blocking the lower uterine cavity or upper cervix, whereas the upper endometrium remains normal. Haematometra are rarely found in these women. We tested the hypothesis that women with localized adhesions occluding the uterine outlet (but not affecting the upper uterine cavity) will have much thinner endometrium than controls. METHODS: Twenty-six women with Asherman's syndrome (16 with limited outlet adhesions only) and 50 with normal menstrual cycles underwent transvaginal ultrasound scan where endometrial double thickness was measured precisely and the cycle phase assessed. The presence of any fluid in the uterine cavity was noted. RESULTS: The endometrium in women with Asherman's syndrome, in whom uterine outlet blockage was the sole abnormality (subgroup 3), was substantially thinner (mean +/- SEM: 3.9 +/- 0.4 mm) than controls (8.5 +/- 0.05; P < 0.001), and haematometra were very uncommon (1 of 16). Endometrial thickness at all stages of the ovarian/menstrual cycle in all three subgroups of Asherman's syndrome was significantly less than in normal menstruating controls. CONCLUSIONS: Non-invasive ultrasound measurements have demonstrated very thin endometrium and absence of haematometra in most women with uterine outlet occlusion by adhesions. This unusual phenomenon of failure of cyclical endometrial growth and breakdown in the sole presence of cervical occlusion by adhesions merits further study.

(+info)Spontaneous uterine rupture secondary to recurrent haematometra from cervical stenosis. (4/6)
Cervical stenosis is a challenging condition that often recurs despite intervention. Multiple therapeutic options have been described, but a clearly effective and reliable treatment method has yet to be identified. Patients with recurrent stenosis are at risk of developing severe complications such as chronic pelvic pain and infertility. We describe a case of congenital cervical stenosis with secondary haematometra in which repeated cervical dilatation, hysteroscopic canalisation and administration of medications to retard endometrial development were unsuccessful in relieving the obstruction and preventing re-accumulation of menstrual blood. Total hysterectomy was eventually mandated by spontaneous rupture of the haematometra.

(+info)Hemihaematometra with persistent undeveloped Wolffian duct. (6/6)
A case of hemihaematometra in a non-communicating rudimentary horn of the uterus in a 14 year old girl is presented. Exploratory laparotomy revealed a persistent undeveloped Wolffian duct. This is the second case in world literature where a persistent mesonephric duct without any development is reported. (+info)Hematometra is a medical condition that refers to the accumulation of menstrual blood in the uterus (uterine cavity) due to obstruction of the cervical canal. This condition typically occurs in women who have congenital abnormalities of the reproductive system, such as imperforate hymen or transverse vaginal septum, which prevent the normal flow of menstrual blood out of the uterus.
The accumulation of blood in the uterus can cause it to become distended and painful, and may also lead to endometriosis, infection, and other complications if left untreated. Hematometra is typically diagnosed through a physical examination, imaging studies such as ultrasound or MRI, and sometimes laparoscopy. Treatment usually involves surgical correction of the underlying abnormality to restore the normal flow of menstrual blood.

- Hematometra is a medical condition involving collection or retention of blood in the uterus. (wikipedia.org)
- Hematometra (retention of blood in the uterus) or pyometra (accumulation of pus in the uterus) can cause pain or bulge in the uterus. (icliniq.com)
- Cervical cytology testing - Tests like Papanicolaou (PAP) and human papillomavirus test (HPV) are done in premenopausal women with hematometra (retention of blood in the uterus) or pyometra. (icliniq.com)
Hematocolpos1
- When there is absence or cervix and upper vagina there can be hematometra without hematocolpos. (jpgo.org)
Vagina1
- Hematometra develops when the uterus becomes distended with blood secondary to obstruction or atresia of the lower reproductive tract-the uterus, cervix or vagina-which would otherwise provide an outflow for menstrual blood. (wikipedia.org)
Imperforate hymen1
- Hematometra, otherwise known as hemometra is a condition in which blood is collected and retained in the uterus, commonly the result of an imperforate hymen or transverse vaginal septum. (nursespost.com)
