Is there any treatment for MRKH syndrome?

Treatment for MRKH depends on your goals and symptoms. There are surgical and nonsurgical treatment options, including vaginoplasty, vaginal dilation and a uterine transplant.

Vaginal dilation

Vaginal dilators are one treatment healthcare providers use to help stretch your vagina. Dilators are made of plastic or silicone and vary in length and width. These tube-like devices resemble a penis to help expand and stretch the inside of your vagina. Your provider will discuss the best way to use a vaginal dilator based on your condition.

Vaginoplasty

A vaginoplasty is a surgical procedure to create a vagina. There are several ways surgeons perform vaginoplasty, but most involve creating a hole and lining it with tissue from another part of your body.

Uterus transplant

A uterine transplant may allow a person with MRKH syndrome to carry a pregnancy. A uterus transplant is a major surgical procedure that involves placing a donor uterus inside a person without a uterus. Uterine transplants give people with MRKH an opportunity to carry and deliver a child. Uterus transplants aren’t widely available but could be a promising treatment in the future.
