no vaginal opening

Folks, I was born in 1965 and I discovered that I was missing my vagina after being rushed to the hospital at age 13. I had had my period for about 6 months but it had no way to get out. I highly encourage parents of children who are aware there is a problem to take care of the issues earlier rather than later. I just recently published a book called Bad Girl Gone Mom. It is my memoir and discusses the trauma I went through because of this birth defect as well as hearing loss and speech problems. The book is available on ***edited by moderator*** web addresses not allowed as welll as Barnes and Noble.

When I was younger I was worried because I never got my period. My mother kept telling me that she got hers late, when my younger sister had already got hers, I was 16, my sister 11. I was worried so she took me to the doctor. I found out I was born with a smaller uterus, and no opening to  my vagina. I had neo-vaginal surgery to create the opening. All my hormones are normal, and I am a girl! I still have never had my period nor will I, and I am 24. It happens, but it was an experience I had to go through. Surprisingly it happens within 1 in every 5,000 females, I found out later.

Hello there, my lil girl is 1 and we were just told by the Doctor that my daughter has no opening down there. Wow, major shock! The Doctor just gave us the cream as well, but I am not gonna use it. My big question is do I have a case to open a lawsuite against the Hospital where she was born since no one said anything at birth? Do I have a case or not, please someone let me know, this is my daughters life!!

ok so i c all these stories an i seem to have the same problem my daughter is 2 an i dont no y i never noticed it but she doesnt seem to have a vigina hole either i thought i was the only one i m scared for her wat should i do?

my 2 year old Little girls vaginal openings is,nt really visible,

i also had the same problem with my daughter. and as advised by doctor we applied Primarin for one and half month but she developed side effects for it. she had hair coming and her breast size increased rapidly. Doctor said it is side effect and to completely stop the medication. The vagina has opened but some portion is left which needs to be opened by simple surgery as per doctors.
So kindly be very cautious before applying this medication on the children and ask ten doctors before doing the same.

Take your children to the dr for this problem. It won't go away on it's own. It needs to be taken care of with surgery.

My daughter at 4 was diagnosed by her pediatrician as having no opening. I was shocked. She was sent for genetic tests. Those were the worst day of my life as the doctor insinuated that my daughter might be a boy. the tests came back that she was a girl and we used Premarin. at age 6 herpediatrician realized the opening had closed again. We were prescribed cream again. Now at age 8, same thing has happened. I don't know what to think. I feel worried. My daughter is at an age too where she would probably start to feel a bit awkard if I have to apply cream there. Is there anyone that has been through this? My doctor also asked us to get an ultrasound. I am terrified of this- what it might show. I just want her to be normal and be able to have kids.

At the lady that said she wanted to sue the hospital, because it's her "Daughter's Life!!", shut up. You JUST said you're not going to use the cream, which is stupid since I'm sure your daughter would have wanted the cream if she had the ability to make a concience decision at her age, and also, it's not your daughter's life that's being put at risk. You have the cream, use it.

I had to same problem as a child, my mother took to me to a doctor, they gave me a cream to rub in the area, after a while a line appeared then it opened, i had no pain at all.

Why would you not use the cream and deny your daughter needed treatment? What will the lawsuit solve? You need to give your daughter the treatment the doctor ordered ASAP.

My daughter was also born without an opening to her vagina. At 3 years old I first noticed a tiny opening appear; after a day of (attempting) hula hooping and lots of jumping about, three days later (or so) it has now fully opened. She is having pain when urinating at the moment, but I'm sure that will pass very soon. It has done it on its own, the doctor has never mentioned anything about it during examinations (so I assumed it was normal for very young girls to have this). My advice would be not to panic, speak to the doctor if you are worried, but its quite possible the skin will open in its own time.  Also from reading other comments it sounds like its really important to take action early if it doesn't happen naturally. 

My daughter was 3 months old when myself and her pediatrician noticed she had no vaginal opening.I was given a prescription cream,normally prescribed to menapausal women, for her. Her pediatrician told me that I didn't notice at first,because female newborns have some of their mother's hormones.At this stage,my daughter wasn't producing her own estrogen, causing her opening to close and thicken.With the cream,it softened and opened.It has to be checked periodically.If it closes again,She will have to have surgery before she is 10,they say. I say 9, because I have 2 other daughters who received their periods at 9.

I have my period every month the thing is that I think my vagina closed bc I could only see where my hole where I urinate and my poop hole I'm 16 I need help

The guest don't know what she talking about.. my girls two years old and there doing a ct scan and everything on here with in the week.. its causeing pain down there and little girls this age shouldn't have to be in pain everyday. My doctor didn't give my kid some cream to do any thing . Cause it can hert them. I saw 3 doctors so far and they all say creams can make a bigger problem. And that she should have the surgery ... I think I would take what the doctors say first.. and my babies had a few other surgery so far and kids don't take it hard now.. they will when there older
