PURPOSE: Congenital or acquired anatomic differences of the genital tract in patients with anorectal malformations (ARM) may make pelvic exams more challenging. The purpose of this study was to describe office-based pelvic exams and cervical cancer screening among female patients with a history of ARM.
METHODS: This was an IRB approved, cross-sectional study of female patients with ARM who completed our Reproductive Health Surveys from November 2021 to March 2022.
RESULTS: Fifty-four patients with ARM were included in the study. Ages ranged from 22 to 80 years (mean age 34.5 years). Thirty-four patients had a cloaca, 16 had an ARM other than cloaca, and four patients had a complex malformation. Most patients (79.6%) reported having had a pelvic exam in the office. On a scale of 0-100, the mean pain score with pelvic exam was 42. Pain scores were higher for patients with complex malformations and neo-vagina. Forty-three participants (79.6%) had cervical cancer screening. Fifteen participants (28%) had a didelphys uterus but only two patients specified that both cervices were screened for cervical cancer.
CONCLUSION: The majority of female patients with ARM had cervical cancer screening in clinic, those with complex malformations reported greater discomfort. Providers should be aware of barriers to performing pelvic exams in patients with ARM as well as the need to screen both cervices in didelphys uterus.
