Congenital absence of vagina directly affects female fertility and has a great impact on women's psychology and physiology. Congenital absence of vagina is generally asymptomatic, and most patients seek medical treatment due to primary amenorrhea in adolescence or difficulty in sexual life after marriage. If there is a uterus, the patient will experience lower abdominal pain due to blood accumulation in the uterine cavity after menstruation. The vulva develops normally, with no vaginal opening, or only a shallow pit. An enlarged uterus can be felt during an anal examination.
