Abstract

Female genital tract anomalies are rare but may have a serious impact on the reproductive health. Here we are going to discuss a rare case of pin point hymenal opening. Here the patient presented to us with primary infertility. She presented to a health care centre for the first time therefore she had never been examined. After all the initial investigations a diagnosis of micro perforate hymen was made. She was posted in OT for hymenectomy. She underwent excision of the hymenal tissue and the edges were sutured to the introitus to prevent reclosure of the hymen. She had an uneventful postoperative period. Patient was discharged after complete recovery at 5th post-operative day. She resumed sexual functions 6 weeks after the surgery. These anomalies usually require surgical interventions. Correct surgical intervention is required for a better psychological and reproductive health.
