Try Free Symptom QuizWhat is Imperforate Hymen?
The hymen is a thin membrane that mostly covers the vaginal opening. Normally a small hole is present to allow for menstruation. In patients with imperforate hymen, the hymen entirely covers the opening, which prevents menstrual blood from leaving the body during periods. This condition is typically diagnosed when a female girl enters puberty (menarche) and has symptoms of cyclical (monthly) abdominal pain and a lack of menstruation.
Typical Symptoms of Imperforate Hymen
- Lower abdominal pain
- Abdominal pain that occurs in regular intervals
- Lump or swelling in the abdomen/stomach
- Pain around the vulva or vagina
- Need to strain/exert to pass urine
- Stomach feels bloated
- Low back pain
- Feeling there is still urine left in the bladder after urinating
Diagnostic Questions for Imperforate Hymen
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
- Do you have lower abdominal pain?
- Does your stomach pain come and go?
- Do you have a lump or swelling in your abdomen?
- Do you have genital pain?
- Do you have trouble urinating?
Treatment of Imperforate Hymen
Treatment involves minor surgery, where a small incision is made in the hymen to allow menstrual fluid to drain properly. Patients might receive antibiotics to prevent infection while the wound heals. Most patients will recover well and have normal reproductive lives.
