Shi Nu, also known as Shi Xinzi, is a term used by folks to describe women who are born unable to engage in sexual activity. In clinical practice, stone girls are generally divided into false stone girls and true stone girls. The true stone woman is manifested as congenital vaginal atresia or vaginal absence, which refers to the dysplasia or absence of the vagina or vagina and uterus; the pseudolithic woman manifests as hymen atresia, which refers to the inability of the penis to enter due to the abnormality of the vagina or hymen.

The cause of the stone girl:

The causes of stone girls can generally be divided into two categories:

One is the abnormal development of reproductive organs due to chromosomal mutation caused by gene mutation.

One is that pregnant women take medicines by mistake in the early stage of pregnancy, such as taking antiepileptic drugs or taking progesterone to protect the fetus. Some components in the medicines affect the normal development of the fetus and cause deformities of the reproductive organs.

Diagnosis of Stone Girl:

The so-called "stone woman" often refers to hymen atresia, congenital absence of vagina or vaginal atresia or vaginal diaphragm. This type of congenital defect does not attract people's attention at birth. It only needs to be noticed after puberty, when menstruation is delayed, and some women are even arrested on the night of the bridal chamber because they cannot have sexual intercourse. Find.

Some "stone women" have a diaphragm in the lower part of the vagina. Under normal circumstances, there is a hole in the middle of the hymen, and menstrual blood will flow out of the vagina along this hole. If the diaphragm has no holes, symptoms similar to hymen atresia may occur, and periodic lower abdominal pain will occur after menstruation. Some "stone girls" have holes but are small, and they will also experience lower abdominal pain due to poor menstrual flow during menstruation, which will gradually increase. This kind of stone girl often has difficulty in sexual intercourse after marriage. This condition of the diaphragm is also often mistaken for hymen atresia. Although the treatment method is also surgical incision, the surgical method is more complicated than hymen atresia incision. There are also "stone girls" who do not have menstruation at all and cannot have sexual intercourse.

Diagnosis usually involves congenital absence of a vagina. Generally, congenital no vagina often does not have a uterus, so there is no menstruation. Only a small number of stone women with uterus will also experience lower abdominal pain that gradually worsens once a month because the menstrual blood cannot flow out. Stone girls can do vaginoplasty, and they can have sexual intercourse after the surgery.

In a word, most of the "stone girls" are without menstruation, usually accompanied by abdominal pain and dyspareunia that worsen every month. Treatment is mainly surgery. If your fallopian tubes and uterus are well developed, you can still have children after surgery. Stone women's ovaries are generally normal, so it does not affect the development of secondary sexual characteristics.

The treatment of the stone girl:

Stone girl's treatment is to reconstruct the vagina. Surgical therapy is mainly to separate the urethra from the bladder and the rectum to form an artificial lumen. Different methods are used to find an appropriate cavity wound covering to reconstruct the vagina.

Can stone women get married and have children?

Can the "stone girl" get married and enjoy married life? The answer is yes.

"Stone Girl" can be corrected. For stone women with normal uterus development and no vagina, surgical correction can be performed at the age of menarche. It is also possible to reconstruct a vagina for the "stone girl" through surgery. For stone women with uterine deficiency and uterine dysplasia, estrogen and traditional Chinese medicine can be combined for treatment. For example, low-dose diethylstilbestrol is taken orally for 3 to 4 menstrual cycles, and vitamin E, thyroxine, etc. are taken at the same time to promote uterine development. A contraceptive ring can also be placed in the uterus, using the constant stimulation of the ring to push the uterus to grow. But whether or not to give birth depends on whether the female reproductive organs and gonads are fully developed. Most stone girls only have hymen atresia. By doing hymenostomy, they can conceive and give birth just like normal women. Some "stone women" have no problems with the development of ovaries and uterus, and only need to reconstruct the vagina to give birth normally. For "stone women" who have ovaries but no uterus, artificial assisted reproductive technology, artificial insemination, and "surrogacy" are needed to breed fertilized eggs. If the "stone girl" does not have ovaries but has a uterus, because there are no eggs, they can give birth.
