On examination, the hymen may be bulging with hematocolpos and the palpated vagina will be distended with blood.
Treatment, which should be immediate, involves a hymenotomy in which an incision is made in the hymen to drain the fluid and an orifice of normal size is created by removing excess tissue.
Unlike an imperforate hymen, microperforate, cribriform and septate hymens are not usually symptomatic; however, they may cause difficulty in tampon use and sexual intercourse.

 Imperforate Hyman - New Treatments, May 2, 2006   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Because the risks of general anesthesia are greatest in the first 6 months of life, surgical intervention should be delayed until the perimenarchal period because the tissues are naturally re-estrogenized and thus heal more readily and because children can be cognizant and participatory of the imperforate himen.
At this age, although most patients prefer general anesthesia, some have the ability to cooperate with an office hymenotomy.
It is important to provide patients with a choice so that they can make their own decisions.

 Tyler Medical Clinic :: The Role of Retrograde Menstruation in Endometriosis
This theory would also allow for prophylactic treatment, with a concept predicated on the relief of obstruction of egress of menses.
Therefore hymenotomy, dilatation of the cervix and correction of fixed uterine retroversions would appear to have a rational place in the prevention and treatment of endometriosis.
The keystone of prophylaxis, however, would be awareness that this problem may exist in young patients who have intestinal anomalies, because there is a very real chance of their also having a genital anomaly with obstruction to egress.

Revisit the moment of your most passive silence, came a whisper inside of me. Give the girl you were a voice.” Hart then launches into a harrowing account of her pre-marriage hymenotomy, the violent taking of her virginity by a patronizing physician.

 The Happy Feminist: THE CULT OF THE HYMEN LIVES ON . . .
Yarborough, 40 years old, a medical assistant from San Antonio [who paid $5,000 for the surgery on the occasion of her 17th wedding anniversary].
According to Joan Jacobs Brumberg in The Body Project: An Intimate History of American Girls, a hymenotomy is a surgical incision of the hymen which gynecologists began performing in the '30s and '40s to prevent hemorrhage, pain, and infection on the honeymoon.
