91. Understanding Psychological Adjustment in Mayer-Rokitansky-K üster-Hauser Syndrome: A Systematic Review of Qualitative and Quantitative Studies

Mayer-Rokitansky-K üster-Hauser Syndrome (MRKH) is characterised by complete or partial absence of the uterus, cervix and vagina in otherwise typically developed females. Psychological and sexual distress are common in MRKH, yet evidence based psychological support is lacking in clinical practice. To understand facto rs associated with distress and inform intervention development, this review aimed to evaluate evidence of associations between psychological and sexual adjustment outcomes and clinical, demographic and potentially modifiable psychosocial factors in MRKH.
