Vaginal Agenesis

Vaginal agenesis, also known as Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome, is a condition where a person is born without a fully developed vagina and often has an underdeveloped uterus. It occurs during fetal development and affects people assigned female at birth. Symptoms can vary; some may have normal external genitalia, while others may experience issues with menstruation or fertility. Diagnosis typically occurs during adolescence. Treatment options include surgery to create a vaginal canal and support for any psychological or reproductive concerns. With proper medical care, individuals can lead fulfilling lives.
