A teenager has spoken of her ‘total shock’ at being told at the age of 17 she had no vagina. Jacqui Beck, 19, has Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser aka MRKH, a rare syndrome which affects the reproductive system – meaning she has no womb, cervix or vaginal opening. She was only diagnosed after she went to her GP about back pain – and mentioned in passing that she hadn’t started her periods.
