Anomalies and Curiosities of Medicine

CHAPTER VI
244/293

Ferguson describes a prostitute of eighteen who had never menstruated.

The labia were found well developed, but there was no vagina, uterus, or ovaries.

Coitus had been through the urethra, which was considerably distended, though not causing incontinence of urine.

Hulke reports a case of congenital atresia of the vagina in a brunette of twenty, menstruation occurring through the urethra.

He also mentions the instance of congenital atresia of the vagina with hernia of both ovaries into the left groin in a servant of twenty, and the case of an imperforate vagina in a girl of nineteen with an undeveloped uterus.
Brodhurst reports an instance of absence of the vagina and uterus in a girl of sixteen who at four years of age showed signs of approaching puberty.
