THIS WOMAN is promoting fertility awareness by sharing her story of how she only realising she was born with no womb after she had not started her period by the age of SEVENTEEN.

Previously unaware Vics Lane (20), an English student at the University of Leicester, was diagnosed three years ago with having no womb, a condition called Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser Syndrome.

Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser Syndrome (MRKH) is a rare disorder that affects only around 1 in 5,000 females.

Individuals with the condition have female chromosomes (XX), ‘normal’ external genitalia, and ‘normal’ secondary sex characteristics, but they may have underdeveloped or absent uteri and vaginal canals.

It is often treated medically through surgery or a method called dilation.

The condition develops before birth, at around 8 weeks gestation, but is often only detected when puberty begins and menstruation doesn’t start
