What kind of disease is congenital absence of vagina? Many people may not have heard of congenital absence of vagina. It is a congenital malformation that brings great harm to the physical and mental health of female patients. Therefore, it must be taken seriously and cannot be ignored. In order to let everyone know more about the disease, the following is a detailed introduction to what kind of disease is congenital absence of vagina?

Congenital absence of vagina was called "stone woman" in ancient times. Stone woman, also known as stone core, real woman, is generally used by the folks to refer to women who are congenitally unable to have sex. There are generally two types of stone women, namely the so-called "real stone (inner stone)" and "false stone (outer stone)". Real stone women are congenitally absent vagina or vaginal atresia, which refers to the poor development or absence of the vagina or the vagina and uterus in the reproductive organs.

Pseudo-stone women are those with hymen occlusion (or hypertrophy) or vaginal septum, which means that the vagina and other reproductive organs are well developed, but the penis cannot enter due to abnormalities in the vagina or hymen. It is often used in a derogatory sense. From an anatomical point of view, "stone women" are mainly those with deformed and blocked menstrual channels, no menstruation or menstruation cannot flow out. "Stone women" are commonly known as "stone cores" in the folk. They are congenitally without vagina, but have general female sexual characteristics, sexual desire and normal female psychological state. Hymen occlusion is also a type of "stone women".

Most people report that such patients have normal external genitalia, with or without a hymen, and a shallow depression at the vaginal opening or a short and shallow lower vagina. It is often difficult to detect in the prepubertal period, and is diagnosed when the adolescents seek medical treatment for primary amenorrhea or dyspareunia. This disease is uncommon, the incidence has not been reported, and there is no obvious prevalence area.

There are many clinical treatments for congenital absence of vagina, but the efficacy is not very good. For those with normal uterine development, surgical treatment should be performed as soon as possible after menarche; after surgery, the model should be placed until regular sexual life. If the uterus is obviously poorly developed and menstruation does not occur, it is advisable to perform premarital treatment. Compression therapy or surgical treatment can be used before marriage.
