Patient's question:
I have been born without a vagina since childhood, and now that I have a boyfriend, I want to get treatment. How is the treatment for congenital absence of the vagina?Doctor's answer:
Congenital absence of the vagina is caused by abnormal development of the reproductive organs during embryonic period. Currently, surgical treatment is predominantly used, with over 20 different surgical techniques available. However, most of these techniques have certain defects. Some methods involve significant trauma, while the constructed artificial vaginas may become dry, emit odor, and lead to dissatisfaction during sexual life, all of which adversely affect both the physical and mental health of the patients and their partners. Therefore, developing a new type of vaginoplasty with fewer side effects, less trauma, and greater physiological compliance has become the goal of treating congenital absence of the vagina.
