Hyposkillia and Critical Thinking: Lost Skills of Doctors

Imperforate hymen is the most frequent obstructive anomaly of the female genital tract. It can be diagnosed on prenatal ultrasound as bladder outlet obstruction, due to hydrocolpos or mucocolpos and postnatally on physical examination of the perineum and abdomen. No additional tests or investigative tools are required for diagnosis per se. We share our experience of two index cases of imperforate hymen where clinical diagnosis was missed.
