Outlet Obstruction
Outlet obstruction occurs when an opening from the uterus to the vagina is blocked. The most common defect is imperforate hymen. After puberty menstrual blood becomes trapped behind the blockage. The collection of blood may become larger with each month leading to a large painful mass in the pelvis. A thin blockage, such as imperforate hymen, is easily corrected with surgery.
