Did you know about MRKH Syndrome?
Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) Syndrome is a rare congenital condition affecting 1 in 4,500 females. People born with MRKH have a fully functioning external female anatomy, but their reproductive system is underdeveloped or absent. This typically includes an underdeveloped or missing uterus and upper vaginal canal, though ovaries and external features are unaffected.
✨ Key Facts:
Most individuals discover they have MRKH during puberty when menstruation doesn’t occur.
It doesn’t affect external appearance, sexual development, or ability to experience intimacy.
Those with MRKH can still pursue parenthood via assisted reproductive options like surrogacy or adoption.
Emotional and mental health support is crucial, as living with MRKH can be a challenging journey.
💡 Spreading awareness helps normalize conversations about conditions like MRKH and empowers those affected to seek support without stigma.
If you or someone you know is living with MRKH, you’re not alone. 💙
