ABSTRACT

Aims Uterine leiomyomas are the most common pelvic tumors in women. The patient ‎is 26 year old virgin woman, who had come to Sarem Hospital due to severe ‎bleeding. In the studies, cervical fibrosis was detected in the uterus, which was ‎associated with anemia and severe bleeding, and the removal of fibroma was ‎necessary. Cervical fibrosis is surgically removed through the vaginal canal, but ‎the patient, due to virginity, was reluctant to undergo surgery through the vaginal ‎canal. Therefore, the decision was made to perform‏ ‏this surgery through ‎abdominal myomectomy. The patient was discharged from the hospital 2 days ‎after surgery with a good general condition and satisfaction with the health of the ‎virginity.‎
Conclusion In Islamic countries such as Iran, considering the culture of the general public, the ‎virginity is very important. In this particular case, due to the request of his ‎virginity and its importance for the family, surgery through abdominal ‎myomectomy was recommended. Although the surgical procedure is followed by ‎scarring of abdominal surgery and postoperative pain, but the result is the same ‎as the result of the surgery through the vaginal canal.‎
