Urocolpos et reflux d'urine dans l'utérus dans les suites de mutilations génitales féminines au Centre hospitalier universitaire régional de Ouahigouya, Burkina Faso

INTRODUCTION: Urocolpos is rare as is the reflux of urine into the uterus which may be associated with it. Female genital mutilation (FGM) is a rarely described cause. We present two cases, one of which is associated with reflux of urine into the uterus. CLINICAL CASES: Two 7-year-old and 15-month-old girls presented after FGM with pelvic pain, pushing dysuria, and episodes of urine retention. RESULTS: It was the pelvic ultrasound which made it possible to objectify an urocolpos associated in the 7-year-old patient with reflux of urine into the uterine cavity. Bacteriology has isolated Escherichia coli from urine. Deinfibulation and antibiotic therapy restored normal urination. Urocolpos and reflux of urine into the uterus may be due to FGM. CONCLUSION: There are some signs that suggest urocolpos in the context of FGM, but the ultrasound is important for the diagnosis.
