Hymen atresia is an abnormal condition of women's hymen, which is seriously harmful to women's health. It must be treated in a timely and reasonable manner after discovery, and surgery is the best treatment method.
Causes of hymen closure
1. The hymen is a circular membrane covering the outer opening of the vagina, with a small hole in the center. Sometimes the hymen does not have a small hole, which is called female hymen atresia in medicine because the urogenital sinus does not penetrate during embryonic development.
2. Due to the vigorous development of the lower hymen fold of the reproductive tract epithelial hyperplasia, the vaginal orifice cannot be connected with the outer vestibule and closed. The diagnosis can be made by puncturing the swelling part of the hymen and the condensed brown or black red blood.
Harm of imperforate hymen
1. Abdominal pain: early hymen atresia has no symptoms, and female puberty, especially the onset of menarche, has periodic pain symptoms in the lower abdomen. This symptom is similar to the symptoms of dysmenorrhea, but in a relatively short time after menarche, this kind of abdominal pain is not serious.
2. Physiological pain: Physiological pain is a symptom of hymen atresia that has not been treated for a long time. Its clinical manifestation is similar to that of normal menstruation, but it does not limit the location. Physiological pain in multiple locations increases with the increase of pain location, and the symptoms become more and more serious.
3. Endometriosis: Endometriosis is one of the serious complications after hymen atresia is not treated in time. The cause of endometriosis is that the opening of the hymen is closed, and the menstrual blood cannot be discharged and accumulated in the vagina. For many years, blood accumulated in the vagina, the uterus rose, and the menstrual blood poured into the uterine cavity and fallopian tube cavity through the upper terminal cervical opening. Blood accumulated in the uterine cavity and fallopian tube cavity, and finally poured into the abdominal cavity.
4. Sterility: Sterility is the most serious hazard and complication of hymen atresia. First of all, hymen atresia itself can not even discharge normal menstrual blood, let alone have sex, so infertility is a very normal phenomenon. In addition, after the treatment of hymen atresia, although both menstrual blood and male sperm have access to the passage, due to the continuous destruction of the uterus and fallopian tube caused by the early accumulation of menstrual blood, these two important reproductive organs have temporarily lost the function of fertilization and pregnancy. Therefore, the infertility hazard of hymen atresia also occurs naturally.
