Abstract

Postpartum genital tract adhesions are infrequent and their reason has not been appraised. Though, severe dystocia and frequent pelvic examinations have been projected as possible causes. Here, we report a case of vaginal adhesions following caesarean section for obstructed labour that presented as irregular menstruation with desire to remove the PPIUCD. The patient was successfully treated with surgical resection.
