Abstract
Introduction: Hematoma of the lower genital tract is rare especially during pregnancy, and it is potentially fatal
if left undiagnosed and untreated. Therefore, early detection and prompt treatment of this condition is essential.
Case presentation: A 25-year-old Gravida 2 para 1+0 at 36 weeks and 1 day gestation presented with a rapidly
enlarging vulvar hematoma following sexual intercourse. She was managed by examination under anesthesia, and
surgical evacuation of the hematoma. This case reports the importance of timely diagnosis and intervention in
preventing complications associated with vulva hematomas in pregnancy.
Conclusion: Hematoma in pregnancy after sexual intercourse is rare. Early diagnosis and prompt management is
essential in preventing complications.
