A rare case of cribriform hymen with pregnancy

The genital tract anomalies in females have a major impact on their sexual and menstrual life. Cribriform hymen is a rare condition in which the hymen membrane contains multiple perforations. This condition occurs in 1% of the females and requires management if there is any interference in the menstrual flow or sexual function. Here in this case report we present a 21-year-old pregnant woman with cribriform hymen. The patient had a history of hematocolpos at the early menstrual age and has done needle drainage occasionally during the menstrual cycles. Thus, to prevent further complications lower segment caesarean section (LSCS) was done to deliver the baby. Hymenectomy was also done simultaneously after LSCS to improve the quality of life of the patient during the menstrual cycle. The patient was discharged after the procedure under stable conditions.

Abstract

The genital tract anomalies in females have a major impact on their sexual and menstrual life. Cribriform hymen is a rare condition in which the hymen membrane contains multiple perforations. This condition occurs in 1% of the females and requires management if there is any interference in the menstrual flow or sexual function. Here in this case report we present a 21-year-old pregnant woman with cribriform hymen. The patient had a history of hematocolpos at the early menstrual age and has done needle drainage occasionally during the menstrual cycles. Thus, to prevent further complications lower segment caesarean section (LSCS) was done to deliver the baby. Hymenectomy was also done simultaneously after LSCS to improve the quality of life of the patient during the menstrual cycle. The patient was discharged after the procedure under stable conditions.
