Clinical manifestations and diagnosis of congenital absence of vagina

Experts told us that many patients with congenital absence of vagina want to know the symptoms of the disease, so that we can find and treat it in time. Experts said that the factors that lead to congenital absence of vagina are congenital genetic factors, so we need to find them as early as possible. Therefore, in this article, our experts will introduce you in detail the manifestations and diagnosis methods of congenital absence of vagina.

Most patients with congenital angular vagina only have completely closed vaginal vestibule mucosa at the normal vaginal opening, without vaginal traces. Some patients also have shallow depressions in the vaginal vestibule, and some have blind vaginas shorter than 3 cm. It is often accompanied by no deformity, and only slightly thickened strip-like tissue can be seen in the normal uterus, located in the middle of the broad ligament.

About 1/10 of patients may have partial uterine development and functional endometrium. After puberty, due to menstrual blood retention, they experience periodic abdominal pain, amenorrhea, or the disease is discovered only after marriage when they seek medical attention due to sexual intercourse difficulties.

Diagnosis

It is often overlooked in the prepuberty period. 1. If carefully examined, there may or may not be a hymen, with a shallow depression at the opening of the hymen or a short and shallow lower vagina. 2. With or without uterine dysplasia. If the uterus is dysplastic and manifests as primary amenorrhea after puberty, the uterus is small or deformed. If the uterus develops normally, primary amenorrhea with periodic abdominal pain, intrauterine blood accumulation, and uterine enlargement will occur. 3. Sexual dysfunction. 4. With ovarian dysplasia, secondary sexual characteristics are incompletely developed, short stature, webbed neck, elbow valgus and other deformities.

The above content is what experts have introduced to us about the manifestations and diagnosis methods of congenital absence of vagina. I hope that all patients can understand it well. Because the factors that lead to congenital absence of vagina are congenital genetic factors, many patients do not understand the symptoms of the disease, which leads to the inability to receive timely treatment. Therefore, understanding the symptoms of the disease can give us a good chance of treatment.
