Blood trapped: Hematometra refers to menstrual blood trapped inside the womb, when the cervix is obstructed. This can happen after a woman had a ionization done on her cervix for an abnormal pap smear. The cervical canal can then get obstructed from scarring of the cervix. The narrowing may need to be reopened by dilatation in the OR under anesthesia.

It can also happen after pregnancy, d and c, other cervical surgery or infection. Sometimes it requires surgery to drain the collection. It can cause pain, and sometimes can become infected.
