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 periods. 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 an odor, and lead to dissatisfaction during sexual activity, all of which adversely affect both the physical and mental well-being of the patients and their partners. Therefore, developing a new vaginoplasty technique with fewer side effects, less trauma, and greater physiological compliance has become the goal of treating congenital absence of the vagina.
