The hymen is a layer that covers most of the vaginal opening. In this condition, the hymen completely covers the opening. This prevents menstrual products from leaving the body during periods.

Your doctor may ask these questions to diagnose imperforate hymen
Do you have pain in the lower part of your abdomen (stomach)?
Does your abdominal (stomach) pain come and go?
Treatment is with a minor surgery. A small incision is made in the hymen, allowing menstrual fluid to drain properly. Patients may be given antibiotics to prevent infection while the wound heals.
