Patient's question:
In our class, most of the students of the same age have already started their menstrual periods, but I haven't. At first, I didn't pay much attention. After entering university, it still hasn't happened. My mother took me to the hospital for a check-up, and that's when I found out I'm a. The doctor said I need treatment.What kind of help do I need: What does "" mean?
Doctor's answer:
The term "stone girl" often refers to hymenocoele, transverse vaginal septum, congenital absence of the vagina, or vaginal atresia. This congenital defect may not be noticeable at birth, as some individuals may not experience menstruation until puberty, while others may not be discovered until their wedding night when they cannot engage in sexual intercourse. In normal females, below the urethral opening, there is a vaginal orifice surrounded by a thin film of tissue called the hymen. Under normal circumstances, the hymen has only one opening through which menstrual blood flows.
