Self-esteem, depression, anxiety and sexual function in Mayer-Rokitansky-K üster-Hauser syndrome with neovagina: A case series

The Mayer-Rokitansky-K üster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome is a rare congenital disorder which affects one out of 4000 to 5000 women [1]. Due to failed embryologic development of the Müllerian ducts, the uterus and vagina are absent in women with MRKH syndrome. Patients are usually diagnosed during adolescence because of the a bsence of menstruation [2] or when difficulties with vaginal intercourse or infertility are experienced [3,4]. MRKH syndrome is traditionally classified into two types: Type I (isolated) without other malformations, Type II (atypical) includes renal and adnexal malformations and Müllerian agenesis, renal agenesis, cervicothoracic somite dysgenesis (MURCS) association with both renal and skeletal malformations
