Abstract

 Adolescents  have  suffered  from  disorders  of the  genital  tract  since  human race  began.

In presence of normal  uterus,this  could occur mainly due to imperforate hymen,transverse vaginal  septum,absent vagina.Obstructive lesions of the genital  tract in adolescent femalemay present as acute abdomen. The issues of congenital malformations of  genital tract  are complex pschycologically and gynaecologically. Patient should be treated in multidisciplinary, holistic  manners.
