Can congenital absence of vagina in women be cured?

You should know that the symptoms of congenital absence of vagina are not particularly common in our daily life. The appearance of this disease brings great harm and pain to female friends. So can congenital absence of vagina be cured? Let us learn about its related content together:

Most patients with congenital absence of vagina have normal external genitalia. However, due to some abnormal differentiation during embryonic development, only a very shallow pit evolved from the urogenital sinus during embryonic development, or a short and shallow lower vagina about 2 cm deep, can be seen at the vaginal opening, and sometimes the hymen can be seen. These women cannot have sex after marriage. Generally, they also have congenital absence of uterus, so there is no menstruation. Of course, they cannot give birth. Even surgical correction cannot solve the fertility problem. If the patient has a normal uterus and the ovaries and endometrium function normally, the patient may seek medical attention after puberty due to periodic abdominal pain caused by menstrual blood retention and receive timely treatment. If there is no uterus or the uterus is very immature, the treatment of congenital absence of vagina is best performed before or shortly after marriage.

(I) Non-surgical compression methods require patients to have a certain degree of perseverance, be able to endure certain pain, and make persistent efforts to have hope of success. Patients can be taught to operate on their own. Ask the patient to lie on his back, and use a smooth round wooden stick or solid glass stick with a diameter of 1-2 cm to apply pressure backward and upward along the vaginal axis at the depression equivalent to the hymen. Do this several times a day, for about half an hour each time. Since the tissue inside the patient's labia is generally loose, the depression can be as deep as 7-8 cm and as large as 3 cm in diameter after 3-4 months of treatment. Basically, it can solve the problem of sexual life satisfactorily.

(II) Vaginoplasty: Make a transverse incision at the location corresponding to the external opening of the vagina, and bluntly separate the tissues between the urethra, bladder and rectum to form a gap of about 10 cm deep and 3-4 cm in diameter. Then insert the vaginal model covered with amniotic membrane or skin into the formed artificial vagina. After one week, replace the vaginal model, which is generally made of glass, plastic or wood and is 9-11 cm long and 3-35 cm in diameter. It usually needs to be placed for one year. After half a year, start to take it out for 1-2 hours every day, and then gradually extend the removal time. If the operation is performed after marriage, sexual life can be started when the vaginal epithelium grows well and the tissue is soft. At this time, the placement time at night can be appropriately shortened. Once sexual life is stopped for a long time after the operation, the vaginal model still needs to be used to avoid adhesion and vaginal stenosis.

To sum up, the above contents are some introductions to the question of whether congenital absence of vagina can be cured. We hope that these contents can provide some useful help to friends in need, and remind friends that if this symptom occurs, they must not be discouraged, but actively face and treat it.
