Congenital absence of vagina is a common gynecological disease. Generally, 6 out of 10 gynecological patients are congenital absence of vagina patients. It can be seen that the probability is very high, so many women are threatened by this disease. How do women find out whether they are congenitally without vagina? What examinations are needed for congenital absence of vagina? Generally, we need to do three types of examinations: vulvar examination, bimanual examination, and uterine and adnexal examination. Let's take a closer look:

Congenital absence of vagina in women is a common gynecological disease. Common examination methods are as follows:

1. Genital examination:

The main focus is to observe the development of the vulva, the distribution of pubic hair, and the condition of the vaginal and urethral openings, and to observe whether there is edema, inflammation, ulcers, changes in skin color, atrophy, deformities, varicose veins, old perineal lacerations, tumors, etc.

2. Bimanual examination (combined vaginal and abdominal examination)

The examiner wears a sterile glove on one hand, inserts the index and middle fingers into the vagina for a tactile examination, and places the other hand above the pubic symphysis.

3. Triple examination (vaginal, rectal and abdominal examination)

Insert the index finger of one hand into the vagina and the middle finger into the rectum, and place the other hand on the lower abdomen for collaborative palpation. This can determine the size of the retroverted and retroflexed uterus, the condition of the posterior uterine wall, the cardinal ligaments, the uterosacral ligaments, the rectouterine pouch, the vaginal rectal septum, the inner wall of the pelvic cavity and the rectum, and pay attention to whether there is thickening, tenderness and tumors.

The above examinations are necessary for women with congenital absence of vagina. I hope female patients can learn more about them and be familiar with them. Congenital absence of vagina can cause women to feel irritable. Some experts point out that if congenital absence of vagina is not treated, it may lead to female infertility. Therefore, it is recommended that women should seek treatment in time when they find that they are congenitally without vagina, so as not to affect their health.
