Objective: To explore the diagnosis and treatment of patients who have reached menarche but present with clinical manifestations of genital tract obstruction. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted of 72 patients with abnormal menstrual blood discharge and genital tract developmental abnormalities treated at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, The Affiliated Fuyang People's Hospital of Anhui Medical University, from May 1994 to August 2024. The study examined the deformity features, clinical manifestations, treatment methods, and outcomes, together with a literature review, and performed a classification analysis of female genital tract developmental abnormalities with incomplete obstructive clinical presentations. Results: (1) A total of 24 types of female genital tract developmental abnormalities with menarche but accompanied by obstructive clinical presentations were identified. (2) These diseases were collectively referred to as female genital tract incomplete obstructive diseases. (3) Female genital tract incomplete obstructive diseases were classified into four types based on the location of obstruction: incomplete vaginal orifice obstruction, incomplete vaginal obstruction, incomplete cervical obstruction, and incomplete uterine cavity obstruction. Conclusion: The classification and categorization of female genital tract incomplete obstructive diseases provide important clinical guidance for the diagnosis and treatment of patients who have reached menarche but are accompanied by genital tract obstructive clinical manifestations.
