Hello! I gave birth to a beautiful little girl, but unfortunately she was born with urogenital sinus meaning that her urethra and vagina are joined. It needs correcting but before I talked to her doctor about this, I would like to know more about treating this anomaly and if she will be able to have sex and children later in life?
The only possible solution for this anomaly is a surgery. There are many procedures for this operation depending on the type of anomaly. If your girl has a low confluence urogenital sinus anomaly, the surgeon will perform a flap vaginoplasty. In this procedure sinus is opened so that the vagina and urethra have separate exterior openings. If she has a high confluence urogenital sinus anomaly, the surgeon will perform a pull-through vaginoplasty. In this procedure the vagina is brought to its normal location on the surface of the skin while the urethra continues to drain through what was once the common channel. And yes, your girl will be able to have sex, children, pee normally once the anomaly has been corrected.
