A woman who was struggling to have sex was told it was because her vagina was less than half-an-inch long.
The 20-year-old, from Pakistan, had only noticed the problem following her marriage six months earlier.
She told doctors she had never had a period and been experiencing pain in the lower part of her stomach for the last three years.
Her mother believed she had a temporary menstrual delay and continued to plan her daughter’s marriage, according to an article published in BMJ Case Reports.
The woman said the first time she had sex with her husband penetration wasn’t possible.
She said this happened repeatedly whenever they tried to have intercourse and eventually it led to physical and verbal abuse.
Due to the stigma, she was sent back to her parents’ home to be treated for the condition.
Blind vagina
The woman was examined by her doctor who discovered her vagina was blind-ended and just 2cm in length.
She was diagnosed with vaginal septum, which is when the female reproductive system doesn’t fully develop and leaves a dividing wall of tissue in the vagina.
It can run vertically, known as longitudinal vaginal septum (LVS), or horizontally, known as transverse vaginal septum (TVS).
Many don’t realize they have it until they reach puberty or until they become sexually active and experience pain during intercourse.
In this case, the woman had a transverse vaginal septum and needed surgery to extend the cavity.
Surgery
Doctors made an incision and the thick piece of tissue in the lower half of the vagina was cut out.
They then created a mold which was wrapped in a condom and kept inside the constructed cavity for seven days to stretch it.
It was then replaced with a specially designed silicon mold, measuring 8cm by 4cm, and left for three weeks.
She had to continue wearing it at night for the second month and then four times a week in the third.
After that she was allowed to resume having sexual intercourse and seven months she successfully conceived.
The woman delivered a healthy baby boy by cesarean-section at full-term.
“This surgery has given me a new life in true sense. I had to suffer a lot of verbal, physical and emotional abuse from my own family and my in-laws,” she lamented.
“People told my family that I was not a female but a transgender that I can never be sexually active nor could I ever conceive. My self-esteem was lost and I could not face anyone out of this guilt. This treatment blessed me with happy marital relations, self-confidence and a healthy baby.”
