Generally speaking, congenital absence of vagina occurs when the mother uses anti-cancer drugs containing male hormones in the early stages of pregnancy, which stops the reaction and causes female developmental abnormalities, resulting in congenital absence of vagina. It may also be because the patient's constitution is insensitive to androgens, or there are chromosomal abnormalities, all of which may cause the disease. Some women are infected with certain viruses or toxoplasmosis in the early stages of pregnancy, which may cause symptoms of congenital absence of vagina in the baby girl, so women should pay enough attention when they are pregnant.

Usually, congenital absence of vagina is caused by the stagnation of development of the tail end of the mesonephric duct during embryonic development and its failure to extend downward. It may be accompanied by incomplete uterine development or uterine underdevelopment. Some patients may also have uterine developmental abnormalities. If the uterus is abnormal, women will experience symptoms of primary amenorrhea after entering puberty, or have a small or deformed uterus. If the uterus develops normally, it may be accompanied by periodic abdominal pain, intrauterine blood, uterine enlargement, sexual life disorders, etc. Women should not have too much psychological burden about these situations and should face the disease correctly.
