RESUMO
Haematocolpos, caused by imperforate hymen, is a rare condition where menstrual blood accumulates in the vagina. Adolescent girls presenting with amenorrhoea, cyclical abdominal pain, and pelvis mass should be evaluated for this condition. Diagnosis requires a gynaecological examination. However, myths surrounding the hymen may impede proper medical care. Addressing these misconceptions is essential for promoting gynaecological care and ensuring timely evaluation and treatment. This case report emphasises the significance of effective communication in preventing misdiagnoses and care delays.

Cervical cancer is one of the most common cancers in pregnancy. Early diagnosis is of utmost importance for the outcome of the woman and her child. Vaginal bleeding in pregnancy should prompt gynaecological examination, and further diagnostic is needed in women with persistent symptoms. A decision on preservation of the pregnancy in women who are diagnosed with early-stage cervical cancer depends on stage and gestational age, as argued in this review.

Postcoital vaginal cuff dehiscence is a rare but well documented complication of hysterectomy. Common symptoms are vaginal bleeding and abdominopelvic pain with or without evisceration of the intraperitoneal contents through the separated vaginal cuff, which can lead to bowel injury, necrosis and sepsis. This potentially life-threatening condition usually occurs during the first postoperative act of intercourse or within the first few months of surgery. This case report presents the unusual case of vaginal cuff dehiscence in a 59-year-old woman 14 years after a total abdominal hysterectomy.
