Have you ever imagined someone born without a worm, cervix and a vagina?

A British teenager, Jacqui Beck was in total shock and left in dismay when she leant from her Doctor she had the genetic disorder, MRKH syndrome, a genetic condition that meant she had been born without a vagina, womb or cervix.

According to the National Institutes of Health, Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome (named for the physicians that first diagnosed it), or MRKH, affects one in 4,500 newborn girls.


The condition mainly affects the reproductive system and "causes the vagina and uterus to be underdeveloped or absent." According to the NIH, it mostly occurs in people with no family history of the disorder (quite unusual).
Good news is that the external genitalia are normal, and women with MRKH have functioning ovaries and undergo puberty. Eggs could be extracted for surrogacy.Medical procedures such as dilation or surgery can help create a vaginal canal in women with MRKH, allowing them to have intercourse.The condition is usually detected once someone with MRKH tries to have sex, or doesn't begin having periods by age 16.

Its quite a pity. I can only Pray victims have the luck of persons who would love them for whom they are.
