This young woman was born without a vagina or a womb

The 22-year-old found out when she was a teenager that she would never be able to have sex or bear children

A young lady in the United Kingdom may never be able to have sexual relationships or give birth to children due to a rare condition which left her without reproductive organs.

Kelly Smith received the sad diagnosis of Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome from doctors when she was just 17 years old.

The disease is very rare and affects only 500 people worldwide. The only treatment now available for the condition is called “dilatotherapy” and it involves stretching the vagina for a period of six months to a year to make intercourse possible.
