Abstract
Hematocolpos is a rare pathological condition of the Female Reproductive System. This process is associated with vaginal obstruction and is characterized by a violation of the normal evacuation of secretions from the uterine cavity. This pathology is more often encountered by pediatric gynecologists who diagnose anomalies in the development of female genital organs. In peri- and postmenopausal women obstructive disorders are extremely rare and are associated with hormonal changes or previous interventions.
The article presents a rare clinical case of hematocolpos as a result of vaginal carcinoma in postmenopausal woman.
