Vaginal anomalies

Okay, kiddo, so sometimes girls are born with differences in their private parts. These differences are called vaginal anomalies.

Here are some things that might be different:

- The shape or size of the opening in their private parts might be different than what we usually see. Sometimes there isn't even an opening at all!
- Parts of the vagina might be missing or not formed correctly.
- Sometimes the bladder and bowel can be connected to the vagina in a way that they're not supposed to be.

These differences can cause different kinds of problems, like trouble going to the bathroom or pain during sex.

Doctors can sometimes see these differences when the girl is born, but sometimes they don't find out until the girl gets older and starts having these problems.

But don't worry, there are lots of ways to help girls with vaginal anomalies. Doctors can do surgeries or other treatments to fix the problems and help the girls feel better.
