Is congenital absence of vagina basically infertile?

Congenital absence of vagina is an uncommon gynecological disease. There are many reasons for congenital absence of vagina in life. So, is it still possible to conceive a baby if you have congenital absence of vagina? Does congenital absence of vagina mean you will never be able to have children? Let's find out together.

There is a group of women who are too ashamed to talk about their illnesses, or are ignorant of them. Some even find that their physical condition is abnormal when they cannot have normal sex on their wedding night. The disease they suffer from has a professional term in modern medicine: congenital absence of vagina or vaginal atresia; in ancient times, they were called "stone women". The biggest secret of these patients is that they cannot have a normal sex life.

"Stone Girl" can be cured

The incidence of congenital reproductive tract malformations is not high, accounting for only 1/4000~1/5000 of the female population. Due to the large population base in my country, this low incidence rate, when multiplied by the base of hundreds of millions, is an astonishingly large absolute value. In addition, my country's sexual concepts tend to be conservative, and parents and children rarely communicate about sexual knowledge; many schools' education on sexual knowledge is also superficial, or even lacks relevant education; and congenital absence of vagina usually has no effect on health, that is, there is no obvious discomfort, and only a few patients with congenital vaginal atresia will experience lower abdominal pain after puberty. All of this has led to many women with congenital vaginal atresia or absence of vagina not being able to discover their condition in time, or even if they have some understanding, they don't know who to ask for help, where to go for medical treatment, and how to treat it. Many of them can only silently endure their own "abnormal people" and bear a lot of psychological pressure because of these "ignorances"...

Vaginal reconstruction, regaining lost life

Traditionally, the most commonly used surgical method for treating vaginal atresia or vaginal absence is to use the patient's own skin, peritoneum or large intestine as vaginal mucosa to reconstruct the vagina. In recent years, some people abroad have invented advanced biological materials to replace the patient's own tissues as materials to replace the vaginal mucosa in vaginal reconstruction surgery, avoiding damage to the patient's own healthy parts during vaginal reconstruction surgery. These surgeries can help patients rebuild their vaginas and allow them to enjoy a normal sex life.

There are also some girls whose uterus and appendages are normal and who will have normal menstruation during puberty, but whose vagina is closed and menstrual blood lacks a channel to be discharged. Menstrual blood accumulates in the uterus for a long time, causing great damage to the uterus. These girls do not have menstruation on the surface, but only experience abdominal pain during each menstruation. They are often ignored because they are considered to have not reached puberty.

Girls who have reached puberty often have unexplained abdominal pain without menstruation. This should be a cause for concern. Parents should take their children to the hospital's gynecology department for examination in time to rule out the possibility of vaginal malformation, so as to avoid lifelong regrets. For women with normal uterus but vaginal malformation, if they do not receive regular treatment for a long time after menstruation, the uterus will be irreversibly damaged due to long-term stasis of menstrual blood. However, after regular treatment, many people still have the opportunity to become mothers.
