Cureus. 2023 Jun 13;15(6):e40369. doi: 10.7759/cureus.40369. eCollection 2023 Jun.

Abstract

Most cases of vulvar hematomas are caused by either genital tract injury during childbirth or trauma. Although uncommon, instances of spontaneous vulvar hematomas occurring without trauma or unusual sexual practices have been reported. In this report, we present the case of a 24-year-old woman who experienced an injury after a fall, resulting in a rapidly enlarging vulvar hematoma. Due to the worsening pain and swelling, surgical intervention was undertaken for her management.
