Unable to have sex with her husband, a young Pakistani woman ended up consulting doctors.
In Pakistan, a 20-year-old woman ended up seeing doctors because she was having difficulty having sex with her husband, whom she had recently married. Virgo before marriage, she hadn’t seen any such problems before. In fact, at each attempt, penetration proved impossible, triggering verbal and physical violence from her spouse. Bruised, the young woman finally returns to live with her parents.
A normal sized uterus
During a medical consultation, the patient indicates that she had suffered for three years from pain in the lower abdomen, and that she had never had her period, which her mother had attributed to puberty. very late. “Breast development was normal for age, as were all other sex characteristics,” the doctors describe in the BMJ. An ultrasound showed a normal sized uterus and healthy ovaries. Nothing to report either on the side of the hormonal profile.
It is ultimately a simple vaginal touch that will solve the mystery: the young woman had a vagina barely 2 centimeters long, which was not connected to her internal genitalia. People who suffer from this embryonic malformation cannot drain their menstrual blood, which can cause abdominal pain. Their condition may go unnoticed until adolescence.
Surgical intervention
Doctors performed surgery to connect the two parts of the woman’s vagina, cutting out the tissue that was blocking the passage of periods. Three months after the operation, the patient was able to have sexual intercourse without pain. She became pregnant seven months later, giving birth to a baby boy.
