A Rare Secondary Dysmenorrhea Resulted from Separation of Corpus Uteri from Cervix: A Case Report and Literature Review.

ABSTRACT

Secondary dysmenorrhea is a pain associated with disease such as endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, leiomyomas, and interstitial cystitis. Treatment of secondary dysmenorrhea always focuses on the causative pelvic pathology or medical condition. Here, we found a rare case with secondary dysmenorrhea that resulted from traumatic separation of the uterine corpus from the cervix. In this case, the patient experienced a childhood blunt trauma of the pelvic crush and was successfully diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging and 3-dimensional ultrasonography. Moreover, laparoscopic anastomosis could be a minimally invasive way to resolve this problem.
