A routine question from her doctor about menstruation set Kenyan Julian Peter, now 29, down a path that led her to discover she was born without a womb, cervix or vagina.I was born with a condition called Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome , where you have no womb or vagina, and you can also find yourself with just one kidney.This is the normal that I know, I don’t feel bad about it.Someone told me that I should go somewhere to be prayed for.
I had another scan that showed I had no uterus or vagina, and that was when I was diagnosed with MRKH.I was only 17 and quite small, so my priority was to get back to school.I think as a parent there were questions she was bound to ask herself, Essentially she was wondering if she had done something wrong.I told her that I didn’t want to go through with an operation at that point as I wanted to go back to school to complete my education.
When you realize the implications of the condition that you have, you have to forget about giving birth to children.You must accept the way you are.I’ve met many people here in Kenya with the condition and we share our experiences. I accepted my condition early on and I have accepted myself, so I’m OK.But I don’t let things go too far before sitting down with them and letting them know about my condition.A large percentage of the people I have told have gone away.
