This prompts a little bit of worry, especially in the family members, and especially in the first family, like the mother, and this is one of the most important reasons why these girls are brought to the clinic for an examination.<\/span><\/p>\n It is important to typically understand and remember that if a girl does not start getting her menstruation, typically by the age of 13<\/strong>, that means that it warrants an evaluation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Simultaneously, if we wish to wait, we can wait until the age of fifteen. However, that has to be exercised only if the secondary sexual characteristics, like breast development and axillary and pubic hair growth, have developed very nicely.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In a country like India, the most common cause for having delayed menstruation in such young girls is going to be severe Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)<\/a>, and these days, much more commonly, obesity.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” ol_line_height=”2.5em” header_2_line_height=”2em” header_3_line_height_tablet=”” header_3_line_height_phone=”1.4em” header_3_line_height_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n MRKH syndrome is classified into two types:<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Typically, based on clinical examination and on doing a per rectal examination; however, it is also very important to understand that in today’s time and age, the majority of the girls would have had an ultrasound or an MRI before they are referred to a unit like ours, because we are a referral unit for MRKH in India<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n It is prudent to evaluate all these girls for associated abnormalities, especially of the kidney and the entire urinary system.<\/span><\/p>\n Absent a kidney or the presence of a kidney at an abnormal location are both very commonly associated features in this syndrome. Some of the girls can also be coming to us with spinal deformity, typically scoliosis, and some of these girls can also have associated cardiac anomalies.<\/span><\/p>\n Since we operate on a lot of these girls, we often find in many situations that the kidney is present in the pelvis.

As a result, if this is to be treated, there is going to be no form of medical management available for this disease.\u00a0 The only effective way to treat this condition is through surgery.<\/span><\/p>\n To recreate the absent vagina, we need to understand that the natural vagina is normally formed as a muscular structure.<\/span><\/p>\n However, an artificially created vagina is simply going to be a space created by us, either with the help of a laparoscopic or robotic surgery, and the biggest advantage is that it allows us to have sexual function.<\/span><\/p>\n One of the most traditional therapies in this context was to use serial vaginal dilation (non-surgical treatment)<\/strong>, and that is something that has now been completely outdated and replaced by modern surgical techniques.<\/span><\/p>\n The other traditional technique was to use <\/span>skin grafting<\/b>, which was predominantly done by plastic surgeons, and it has now been described as a technique that should not be considered in the management of this disease in order to form a new vaginal tract because it can lead to extremely uncomfortable sexual intercourse and a very unhealthy vagina.<\/span><\/p>\n For young girls with MRKH, the standard treatment today is <\/span>minimally invasive surgery<\/b>, offering better outcomes and faster recovery.<\/span><\/p>\n In most cases, surgeons usually create\u00a0 a new vagina (neovagina)<\/strong> in the natural space between the vaginal plate, which is non-functional, and the rectum.<\/span><\/p>\n As a referral unit for MRKH across India, we have performed the maximum number of <\/span>laparoscopic neovaginal reconstructions<\/b>, as well as <\/span>redo vaginal reconstructions<\/b>, for people who have previously attempted a laparoscopic surgery without the available adequate expertise.<\/span><\/p>\n Our prime target here is to form an adequate vaginal length of approximately eleven centimeters and ensure a well-formed, functional vaginal apex.<\/span><\/p>\n Forming an excellent vagina at the apex with a minimum breadth of approximately four centimeters is extremely important because, no matter how hard we try, there could be some amount of contraction that can occur in this new tract, which has been formed at the end of the procedure.<\/span><\/p>\n The vagina is then maintained patent with the help of a <\/span>Ryles tube mold<\/b>. The tube is to be maintained in the vagina for at least 6 to 9 months following the surgery<\/strong>. It is an extremely simple technique to form the vaginal tube like this with the help of a Ryles tube.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Most of the girls learn it at the end of the discharge process from the hospital, and more than 99% of them end up doing it, forming it on their own, and placing it in the vagina on their own.<\/span><\/p>\n The great advantage of doing this is that it is extremely flexible.<\/span><\/p>\n – Why Is Early Surgery Recommended?<\/b><\/p>\n Early surgical intervention ensures better healing and outcomes. Unfortunately, in India, many patients undergo inappropriate treatments due to a lack of expertise. It\u2019s crucial to consult a specialist with experience in MRKH surgeries.<\/span><\/p>\n – Can people with MRKH have biological children?<\/b><\/p>\n Almost all girls with MRKH can have their own biological child. This is because their ovaries are healthy and functional, which means we can retrieve their eggs. However, since the uterus is absent or underdeveloped, pregnancy cannot occur naturally. <\/span><\/p>\n In such cases, <\/span>Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART)\u2014especially <\/span>in vitro fertilization (IVF)<\/a> combined with surrogacy\u2014make it possible to have a biological child.
