Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome is a rare congenital disorder that affects approximately one in 5,000 women born. Children with this disease are born without a uterus and the upper part of the vagina, or these organs are underdeveloped. Although they may experience the normal signs of puberty, they are unable to menstruate or become pregnant without medical help.
Some women who suffer from this syndrome are able to have intercourse. But doctors usually to patients they recommend undergoing specialized treatment, such as surgical vaginal lengthening.

In a post on Reddit, an anonymous user said she was diagnosed with this rare syndrome at the age of 16. Despite the initial difficulties, she managed to dilate the vagina even without surgery.
“It took about a year before I could have normal sex with my boyfriend at the time. He didn’t have a very big penis, which helped me a lot. As an adult, I didn’t have any problems thanks to it. Now no one would even know that I suffer from a disorder,” she wrote.
Writer Ally Hensley was also diagnosed with MRKH, who was also only 16 years old when she learned of her diagnosis. In his book Vagina Uncensored: A Memoir of Missing Parts she explained that although the disease had a psychological impact on her during her teenage years, she later managed to cope with it. Special therapy, in which she used so-called vaginal dilators, also helped her with this. “MRKH is a part of my life, but it is not its essence,” she concluded.
