A postmenopausal woman on hormonal therapy experienced severe pelvic pain and nausea. This was caused by a rare condition called haematocervix, successfully treated with surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Gynecology
  • Reproductive Medicine
  • Hormone Therapy

Background:

  • Cyclic hormonal therapy is common for postmenopausal symptoms.
  • Hormonal therapy can sometimes lead to irregular bleeding patterns or complications.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with acute pelvic pain, nausea, and vomiting.
  • Absence of expected withdrawal bleeding was noted during hormonal therapy.

Findings:

  • Vaginal exploration and ultrasonography revealed a haematocervix.
  • Surgical intervention confirmed and evacuated the blood collection.

Implications:

  • Haematocervix is a rare but significant complication of hormonal therapy.
  • Prompt diagnosis and surgical management are crucial for patient recovery.
