Although methemoglobinemia is uncommon in gynecological practice, it can occur as a complication of certain medical treatments and procedures. For instance, the use of local anesthetics such as prilocaine or benzocaine during gynecological surgeries or procedures can induce methemoglobinemia. Additionally, certain medications prescribed for gynecological conditions, such as dapsone for dermatological manifestations of systemic lupus erythematosus, can also cause this condition.
