What tests are needed for congenital absence of vagina? Congenital absence of vagina is not uncommon among female reproductive tract malformations. It is divided into complete and incomplete types. The former is often combined with congenital absence of uterus. Patients often find out after puberty because of abdominal pain caused by primary amenorrhea and poor menstrual blood discharge. There are many methods for treating congenital absence of vagina at home and abroad. Therefore, women with congenital absence of vagina should not worry too much. For female friends, it is very important to understand the examination of congenital absence of vagina, which helps to detect it early. So, how do we check for congenital absence of vagina in women?

Congenital absence of vagina can be checked by its symptoms, such as: Primary amenorrhea: Congenital absence of vagina is asymptomatic in childhood, and most of them are diagnosed during puberty when they seek medical treatment for primary amenorrhea. Cyclic abdominal pain: A few patients have a functional uterus, which is a solid spherical uterus without cervix and uterine cavity, but they may have regular cyclical abdominal pain during the menstrual cycle. Some abdominal pain is very severe, affecting life and work, and the uterus should be removed in time. Only a very small number of patients have a normal uterus with uterine cavity and cervix. The manifestation is that menstrual blood cannot be discharged during menstruation, and the retention in the uterine cavity causes cyclical abdominal pain, or because the menstrual blood flows back into the abdominal cavity, pelvic endometriosis, such as chocolate cysts, can be formed. An enlarged uterus can be touched during an anal examination, and gynecological examination and B-ultrasound can confirm the diagnosis. In this case, intestinal artificial vaginoplasty should be performed as soon as possible to make the upper end of the artificial vagina fit with the cervix to facilitate the discharge of menstrual blood. Some patients can even have normal pregnancy. Dyspareunia: A few patients seek medical treatment for dyspareunia after marriage. Some patients, through long-term sexual intercourse, form a vaginal cavity and can even lead a normal married life. This situation is more common in rural areas. It is like vaginoplasty with pressure vaginoplasty.

How to check female congenital absence of vagina? Other auxiliary examinations can also be used. Generally, the hospital conducts examinations for congenital absence of vagina, such as: Gynecological examination: vestibule depression examination method or vestibule pressure mark depth: In addition to observing the morphological development of the vulva, you should wear gloves, apply paraffin oil to your index finger, and gently press the vaginal vestibule, gradually pressing deeper to determine the depth of the vestibule depression, which is meaningful for deciding the surgical method. Anal examination: Determine whether there is a uterus, the size of the uterus, and whether there is tenderness. Generally, the basal uterus on both sides of the pelvic wall is difficult to touch, and only the trace uterus behind the bladder top can touch the nodular small mass. Touching an enlarged uterus with tenderness is mostly uterine menstrual blood retention, which is extremely rare. B-ultrasound examination: It is the most important and simplest auxiliary examination, which can determine whether there is a vaginal gas line, the size of the uterus, the size of the ovaries, and the presence and position of the kidneys. Other examinations: A small number of patients need to undergo radiographic or CT examinations to clarify malformations in the urinary system or skeletal spine.
