    • Abstract:
      The article presents a case study of a 12-year-old girl who presented with lower abdominal pain, ultimately diagnosed with hematometrocolpos due to an imperforate hymen. Topics discussed include the importance of considering uncommon gynecological causes for abdominal pain in pubescent females, the significance of a thorough gynecological history and examination, and the need for increased training in performing gynecological assessments in emergency medicine.
