My 17 years old daughter has never seen her period. I was not too worried at 16 I told her our body is different so no need to worry, but she started getting anxious since all her friends already started mensturating. She is currently in 100 level.

I took her to LASUTH, and after several tests, the doctor said she has MRKH that she was born without a womb (uterus).
I didn't show her the results that day, but l have been terrified since she keeps asking for the full results, and I keep lying that the doctor is still reviewing it.

How do I tell a 17 years old that she will never men.stru@ting or carry a pregnancy? She talks about future husbands and children. My heart breaks every time.
Please, parents, how do I have this conversation without scaring her for life?

Mehn.... You need to take her to a therapist or female friendly medical doctor who will break the news to her "gradually o". Thats a very heavy truth to find out.... And if you keep her in the dark for too long, she'll go to the hospital by herself one day, and find out by herself.

Phew! I can't even imagine the burden of hiding this.

I pray a miracle happens for her. But she should know.

It's best to talk to her about it...


Before she finds out herself. She can explore options like IVF in the future even though she wouldn't be able to carry the baby herself. Or surrogacy.


All hope isn't lost for her.


But talk to her about it!

I suggest a more comprehensive test should be conduction in a different medical facility to get a second view.

Statistics have proven that women die more from child births than natural causes. So the girl should consider herself lucky because she won't have to worry about going through the risks of pregnancy and child birth.

Nonetheless, her parents should get a second opinion because Nigerian doctors are usually too hasty to give a medical diagnosis which mostly turns out wrong.

Mehnnnnn, dis one arent gona be funny. No womb, mak she kukuma turn to man

Chai. This is quite hurtful for the young girl. I just wish there was a ‘bright side’ to this, but sadly there is none, except maybe the fear of teenage unwanted pregnancy sha. Well, thank God for science. she can do IVF - surrogacy mum and all that. Best of luck to her and more money in her Aza for the future hurdles

I'd be rejoicing if I was her, I hate those things... I can't wait to finish having children and do a tubal ligation.

What exactly did you hate?

If you enjoy getting kids you are a controversial person. You can be bought with anything because you don't know what exactly what you want.

Congratulations 👏🎉 to you
New grandpa in town

Can someone explain the condition the young lady has?

The only option for her is surrogacy

There are other ways to conceive, she shouldn't worry.

Honestly, this is going to be very difficult considering her age and the condition of being in the midst of other girls, where their major discussion is centered on puberty-related experiences. I suggest you seek the help of a qualified Human Behavioural

Well, you're entitled to your own opinion and I don't expect you to understand.

But soon enough, periods will be a thing of the past for me and I'll be celebrating every moment of it...💃💃💃

lies from hail just to gain attention on social media

Since Nairaland is now a hospital.

SHE IS WOMB-LESS

TAKE HER FOR CHECK-UP

Happens mostly at CHILD-BIRTH

You better go for a 2nd opinion, am talking from experience.

There is nothing God can not do but always for multiple opinions, by what I have seen from the medical field so far, lots of their opinions are wrong. Someone close to me met 5 doctors and diagnosis last year on same issue and got 4 different medical opinions, all from top hospitals in Lagos.

Take am go see obstetrician or gynecologist. He understands female body 100%

When life gives you Lemon, make a Lemonade. The power of positive thinking.

Hormone therapy would likely be the solution.

Is she a tomboy?

You must be out of your mind for typing tht shit up there. So because some women die during childbirth, she should not be a complete woman she is created to be?

This is very serious. I pray a solution is found

Maybe she's a boy pretending to be a
Girl

Make an appointment with the Doctor and find solution to your daughter's seeming imbalance hormonal cycle.
This is not a critical situation,damn!

As long as she can produce eggs, IVF surrogacy will take care of it. The down part is the awkwardness around her when are friends start noticing she doesn't have her monthly menstrual cycle

opening up to your daughter on the truth as per doctor' s report is the first step

your constant lying and deflecting wont delay the inevitable

My own daughter will not feel bad about it at all. She'll tell you there are other options like adoption.

Too many fabricated stories on social media but okkkkaaaayyyyyyy
