Treating Absent Uterus in California
Uterine Transplantation for Mayer Rokitansky Syndrome
Mayer Rokitansky Syndrome, also known as absent uterus, is a rare congenital disorder which appears in a very small percentage of women. This condition occurs when the embryonic mullerian conducts fail to develop, leading to primary amenorrhea and the absence of a uterus, as well as an internal vaginal canal. Although only 1 in approximately 5,000 suffer from this condition, the symptoms and degree of illness can be quite severe and emotional. If you have been diagnosed with an absent uterus, you may want to consider California uterine transplantation as a solution. At Uterine Transplant, Inc., we specialize in the treatment of uterine abnormalities, including Mayer Rokitansky Syndrome.
A few of the most common symptoms or signs of this disorder include:
- Difficult or painful sexual intercourse.
- Short or lack of vaginal canal.
- Complete or partial lack of uterus.
- Complete or partial lack of cervix.
How Is Absent Uterus Diagnosed?
Women who have reached puberty or passed the normal stage of puberty with this condition have typically noticed some of the most obvious physical signs. As they develop female characteristics, they may experience discomfort and a gynecologist may suggest further testing. An experienced California uterine transplantation doctor can perform an ultrasound or magnetic resonance to confirm a diagnosis of absent uterus.
