Treatment of IH is surgical. Different types of incisions and postoperative treatment are proposed. Case: A 12-year-old girl presented with a 3-day history of pain in the lower abdomen. Examination of the external genitalia disclosed a bulging hymen. Ultrasound examination of her lower abdomen revealed hematocolpos. A diagnosis of hematocolpos caused by IH was established and surgical treatment was decided. Conclusion: Treatment of choice for IH is undeniably surgical. Although different types of procedures have been proposed, the surgeon should choose the one that best suits the patient’s needs without harming anatomical structures closely related to the hymen.展开更多
