Effectiveness of non-surgical interventions to improve health and well-being in women living with Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome: A systematic review

CONCLUSIONS: Clearly, vaginal dilation is a viable initial treatment option for women with MRKH syndrome. There is limited evidence that 'coital dilation' is an effective method of dilation for vaginal agenesis. The literature, however, supports the need for psychological intervention to improve health and well-being.IMPACT: Women with MRKH syndrome who require dilation can receive guidance and support from their healthcare providers, particularly sexual and reproductive health nurses, clinical nurse specialists and gynaecologists. From the point of diagnosis, clinical psychologists should be involved. As much as feasible, family and partner support can be encouraged.PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: No patient or public contribution.PMID:37994266 | DOI:10.1111/jan.15976
