What are the symptoms of congenital absence of vagina?

Women with congenital absence of vagina are usually called "stone women" in the folk. So what are the symptoms of congenital absence of vagina? Experts say that symptoms include vaginal atresia, urinary tract malformation and abdominal pain. This group of people needs to be examined and discovered as early as possible and receive targeted treatment. The following is an explanation of the symptoms of congenital absence of vagina.

Congenital absence of vagina brings great psychological trauma to women. Some of them dare not seek treatment or fall in love. Most of the symptoms of congenital absence of vagina are that the patient only has a completely closed vaginal vestibule mucosa at the normal vaginal opening, without any vaginal trace. Some patients also have a shallow depression in the vaginal vestibule, and some have a blind vagina shorter than 3 cm.

Congenital absence of vagina is often accompanied by other malformations. When the paramesonephric duct is severely dysplastic, patients with congenital absence of vagina often have renal malrotation, low migration of the kidney, or migration to the pelvic cavity, forming urinary tract malformations such as pelvic kidney, horseshoe kidney, transboundary renal ectopia (two kidneys located on the same side of the body), renal agenesis, renal insufficiency, etc. Therefore, congenital absence of vagina should be treated as soon as possible, which is beneficial to the patient's future life.

In addition, the symptoms of congenital absence of vagina are that only slightly thickened strips of tissue (congenital angular vagina) are seen in the middle of the broad ligament in the position of the normal uterus. About 1/10 patients may have partial uterine development and functional endometrium. After puberty, due to menstrual blood retention, periodic abdominal pain occurs, and there is no menstruation or it is not discovered until after marriage when seeking medical examination due to sexual intercourse difficulties.

Patients with congenital vaginal agenesis have no uterus or an underdeveloped uterus, and will not have menstruation. They cannot have sex after marriage, which poses a serious threat to their fertility. These patients, known as "stone women", need artificial vaginoplasty to recreate a vagina in order to have menstruation and have a normal sex life. If you have symptoms of anovulation during the ovulation period, you should also go to the hospital for a check-up in time.
