she looked perfectly normal just like other seventeen year old girls. with no complains of fever, infection or palpable masses, she calmly explained how she never experienced menstruation throughout her life. this was bothersome she told us.
an ultrasound scan of her reproductive organ revealed a dismaying problem. the two functional ovaries are there but no signs of womb. it is totally not formed.
tears came to her eyes as she knew this congenital malformation causes pregnancy will be impossible for her in future. she will never enjoy motherhood like her girl friends will do someday.
she was paralyzed with affliction.
post-script: it is Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser Syndrome. estimated to occur 1 in 5000.
