I can't believe people still fall for Daily Mail articles. Does anyone actually think this is real?
The condition described is something that does exist... The rest well like all other sources to be taken with a grain of salt.
It's a real condition if you've bothered to do some research...
Google -Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome

Looks like there is a procedure to that can be done to fix it. :awe:Vecchietti procedure In treating müllerian agenesis, the Vecchietti procedure is a laparoscopic surgical technique that produces a vagina of dimensions (depth and width) comparable to those of a normal vagina (ca. 8.0 cm. deep).[7][8] A small, plastic sphere (“olive” is threaded (sutured) against the vaginal area; the threads are drawn though the vaginal skin, up through the abdomen, and through the navel. There, the threads are attached to a traction device, and then daily are drawn tight so that the “olive” is pulled inwards and stretches the vagina, by approximately 1.0 cm. per day, thereby creating a vagina, approximately 7.0 cm. deep by 7.0 cm. wide, in 7 days. The mean operating room (OR) time for the Vecchietti vaginoplasty is approximately 45 minutes; yet, depending upon the patient and her indications, the procedure might require more time.[9]
