MRKH (Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser) Syndrome is a condition where a female is born with an underdeveloped or absent uterus and vagina, while ovaries and external genitalia are normal.
The most common sign is absence of menstrual periods (primary amenorrhea) despite normal puberty, breast development, and hormonal function.
It occurs due to improper development of the Müllerian ducts during fetal growth. The exact cause is still unknown.
It is usually diagnosed during teenage years when periods do not start. Diagnosis involves ultrasound, MRI, and physical examination.
Most cases are not inherited, but in some rare instances, a genetic link may be present.
Yes. With proper treatment such as vaginal dilation or vaginoplasty, patients can have a normal and satisfying sexual life.
