Abstract

An uncommon malformation of the female genital system is the transverse septum which is often known as the vaginal septum. A problem with the union and channelling of the Mullerian conductors and urogenital sinus is the primary common cause of progressive pathogenesis. This anatomical blockage can block the vagina, which can lead to a hematocolpos that is connected with periodic pelvic discomfort in teenage females immediately after menarche. A thorough clinical gynaecological evaluation, particularly an abdominal or transrectal ultrasound scan, and in even more complicated situations, magnetic resonance imaging is used to determine the presence of a vaginal septum. The surgical intervention must be performed as soon as feasible. We report the management of a case of a 16-year-old girl presented with primary amenorrhea associated with severe pain in the lower abdomen for 2-3 days, which was cyclic in nature and spasmodic in character. She revealed a hematocolpos during the examination, aggravating a full transverse vaginal septum. Removing the hematocolpos and examining the cervix were the steps in the therapy.
