Extractions: Mayer Rokitansky Kuster Hauser syndrome Mayer Rokitansky Kuster Hauser syndrome is a gynecological disorder which means reproductive malformations. We've heard of heart malformations and limb deformities but genital malformations? This is part of Mayer Rokitanksy Kuster Hauser Syndrome(MRKH) which includes a short or nonexistent vagina, no cervix, and a partial or absent uterus. The causes are unknown. bodyOffer(31731) Most women find about this when they are teenagers. Some girls may find out at a young age when they have surgeries for some other problems such as hernias. Yet the majority find out when their periods won't come. They despair because sisters got their periods at earlier ages. They think they're "late bloomers". A visit to the obstetrician-gynecologist will be futile when the doctors are unable to do pelvic exams on them because of their short or nonexistent vaginas. Instead doctors use laparoscopic surgery where they insert a light through the navel or they use ultrasound to make a diagnosis. This way, the doctors are able to ascertain the condition of the reproductive organs. Doctors should find normal ovaries and fallopian tubes. However, they should find no uterus or an incomplete one. An incomplete one is usually removed because it may cause cramps. Once the doctors find these problems, the question changes from why haven't I gotten a period to how can a doctor "cure" it? A doctor can't cure the 'no periods' part because the women don't have uteruses.

Bodies Like Ours - Caitlin's Story I got dressed and we left. I was in shock. I had been diagnosed with Mayer RokintaskyKuster Hauser Syndrome (mrkh), sometimes referred to as vaginal agenesis. http://www.bodieslikeours.org/personalstories/caitlins story.html
Extractions: Caitlin's Story Okay, first I want to say that this is very, very personal for me When I was 15 and I still had not gotten my period (although I had been fully developed for some time), a friend talked me into going to her doctor. After an attempted pap smear, the doctor said she thought I had an imperforate hymena common condition where the hymen can not be broken under the usual circumstances and it also prevents blood from coming through the vaginal opening. She sent me to a gynecologist. The gynecologist very coldly examined me and told me that I did indeed have this condition. She brought my mother in and I was scheduled for a routine, in and out surgery where they would make a small incision in the hymen while I was under anesthesia. I was not that freaked out because it sounded so routine and I was assured that many other girls needed the same surgery. The morning of the surgery I had been diagnosed with Mayer Rokintasky Kuster Hauser Syndrome There are several ways to make a vagina www.mrkh.org
Mayer Rokitansky Küster Syndroom Nederlands Tijdschrift voor Obstetrie Gynaecologie, Vol 112, Februari1999 DIAGNOSE INCOMPLEET .? ERVARINGEN VAN VROUWEN MET http://www.freya.nl/medisch/mrk.htm
Extractions: Ald. Gynaecologie Polikliniek Psychosomatische Gynaecologie en Seksuologie '... na die eerste bijeenkomst voelde ik me opgelucht: de anderen zien er zo normaal uit, zijn normale vrouwen ... ik ben niet meer alleen....' De vrouwen hebben een normaal vrouwelijk karyotype: 46 XX. Hun secundaire geslachtskenmerken zijn normaal vrouwelijk en hun ovaria functioneren normaal. Bij lichamelijk onderzoek eindigt het vestibulum vaginae blind. De vagina-aanleg is wisselend van diepte. In Nederland zouden ongeveer vier vrouwen per jaar geboren worden met dit syndroom op grond van de in de literaruur gemelde frequenties van voorkomen. De diagnose wordt meestal tijdens de puberteit van de vrouw gesteld, na onderzoek vanwege een primaire amenorroe. Anamnese, algemeen lichamelijk en gynaecologisch onderzoek leidt tot de diagnose. Een laparoscopie is meestal niet noodzakelijk. Een MRI kan worden verricht om de afwezigheid van de uterus te bevestigen. Immers een vrouw wordt door haarzelf en haar omgeving als 'normaal' beschouwd wanneer zij menstrueert, gemeenschap kan hebben en een kind kan dragen. De aanwezigheid van een functionerende baarmoeder en het aangelegd zijn van een vagina is hiervoor een eerste vereiste. Het MRK-syndroom kan ertoe leiden dat de vrouw zich anders dan anderen, 'incompleet' voelt.
