A Case of Imperforate Hymen with Retained Menses, Simulating a Uterine Tumour

چکیده
On the 15th August, 1930, S., a well developed Hindu girl of 16, was brought to my dispensary from a near by village, for retention of urine and severe pain of a bursting type in the lower abdomen. The history obtained was of a very vague type, and all that could be gathered from her parents, was that the trouble commenced some 20 days previously when the patient had sudden pain in the abdomen and general malaise. Gradually, a swelling was noticed in the lower part of the abdomen, and with the increase in its size, she felt increased difficulty during micturition and lately during defalcation as well. For 24 hours prior to her admission to the hospital, she had had complete retention of urine and had had no motion for over 48 hours.
