Bilateral Massive Hematoma of Bartholin Glands after Prolonged Labour: A Case Report

Abstract

Background: The early postpartum hematoma represents a rare complication which can appear in the early post-partum period. Its formation and development is favoured by the hypervascularization of the genital area during pregnancy and by the cellular hormone dependent laxity of the tissues which favours its apparition and diffusion.
Description of the case: We present a rare situation of a large bilateral Bartholin glands hematoma at a 27-years-old, primiparous female, who had experienced a prolonged labour, ended by a caesarean section.
Conclusion: Early postpartum hematoma is a rare condition which might need in selected cases a surgical approach in order to resect the compromised structures.
