There is this congenital syndrome, the victim (women), are either born without a uterus and vagina or they have underdeveloped ones. They do have working ovaries, however. It affects about one in five thousand women. It is called Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome (MRKH).
Victims of MRKH don't have PMS (Premenstrual syndrome) cramps and don't undergo the women monthly period (menstruation). Most times, victims do have relationship issues with their partners as most guys don't want to deal with girls with no uterus nor vaginas. Well, some guys look beyond having sexual intercourse and procreation. They love because they truly love.
Some women with MRKH are born without vaginas and others have shortened ones. In the case of having a shortened vagina, women can use plastic dilators to stretch and expand it over time. Sex can be a little uncomfortable sometimes for them.
Women with MRKH can’t carry a pregnancy. They can fertilize their eggs through IVF and use a surrogate.
Now, Uterine transplant was first conceived in 1896 by Emil Knauer, a 29-year-old Austrian working in one of Vienna's gynecological clinics. He published the first study of ovarian autotransplantation documenting normal function in a rabbit.
Uterine transplant is the surgical procedure whereby a healthy uterus is transplanted into an organism of which the uterus is absent or diseased.
In October 2014 the good news was announced. For the first time, a healthy baby had been born to a uterine transplant recipient, at an undisclosed location in Sweden. The baby had been delivered prematurely at about 32 weeks, by cesarean section. The Swedish woman, aged 36, had received a uterus in 2013, from a live 61-year-old donor.
