What is Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome?
Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome (MRKH syndrome) is a rare congenital illness that affects women and persons who are born female. It’s a disorder in which your vagina and uterus are absent or underdeveloped.
In most circumstances, your ovaries and fallopian tubes will continue to operate regularly, but your exterior genitals will be untouched. You will have a lower vagina, a vaginal opening, labia (vaginal lips), a clitoris, and pubic hair.
Because MRKH has no effect on your urethra, you can pee properly. Organs such as your kidneys and spine may not form properly in some cases of MRKH syndrome.
People with MRKH syndrome usually find it throughout their adolescence when they do not have a menstrual period. This is due to the fact that they do not have a completely formed uterus and vagina. Other times, sexual intercourse is uncomfortable or impossible due to a short and narrow vaginal canal.
