Abstract:
Normal onset of menarche is anywhere between 13 and 16 years of age, with peak time being 13 years of age. Ayurveda texts mention 12 years as age of menarche. There may be late onset of menarche in few patients, but such cases sometimes are left unattended and untreated in rural population. Even if an adolescent female patient is physiologically normal and is menstruating inside, and there is an external genital organ developmental anomaly /abnormality which isobstructing the outward flow of menstrual blood e.g. Imperformate hymen, menstrual blood fails to come out of vagina and gives rise to a condition called cryptomenorrhea. As blood tends to accumulate in every cycle, hematometra and hematocolpos develops. Such patient may present as a patient of acute abdomen with urine retention with complaints of delayed menarche which may even require immediate surgical intervention to relieve the pain
