An Italian doctor has reconstructed vaginas for two women born with a rare congenital deformation, using their own cells to build vaginal tissue in the lab for the first time.

Professor Cinzia Marchese of University Sapienza in Rome says a 28-year-old woman who underwent the first such operation a year ago now has a healthy vagina.

"She has got married and is living a normal life," says Marchese, a professor of clinical pathology and biotechnology whose study is published in the journal Human Reproduction.

The second operation was on a 17-year-old girl. The researchers took cells by biopsy from where her vagina should be and say the cells should grow in the lab to provide mucosal tissue, from which to 'build' a new vagina.

Mucosal tissue is found inside the vagina, the mouth and elsewhere in the body and has important attributes distinct from ordinary skin.

The two women have a condition called Mayer-von Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome, or MRKHS for short, which affects an estimated one in 4000 to 5000 female infants.

Girls with the syndrome are born with no vagina. They often have a normal uterus, ovaries and external secondary sexual organs such as breasts, but cannot have sexual intercourse or give birth.

"Usually the syndrome is diagnosed when they are young and they try to have sexual intercourse for the first time and it hurts," says Marchese.

Women with MRKHS are often embarrassed to talk about it with their parents when they are young and often "live the rest of their lives with no normal sexual life, even though they are normal women with normal feelings", she says.

Alternative to surgery

So far, surgeons have been able to correct the condition by reconstructing a vagina out of grafted skin or from intestinal tissue. But the surgery is highly invasive, lengthy and painful. And it takes a long time to grow a normal mucosal wall.

Now we can make vaginas.

I genuinely think this is wonderful, on two fronts.
Primarily, women with such conditions will hopefully be able to live normal lives which they've so far been denied due to their unusual condition & circumstances. Also, as Tyrael pointed out - 'real' vaginas can be built... just like dildo for women who don't want a man, now men can get something a little more authentic to play with.

For male sextoys I recommend the Fleshlight. www.fleshlight.com Check it out if you're interested.

I prefer small terriers, sometimes sheep.. Animals are generally better at felation and dont cry "rape" the next day..

I read about a documentary with a journalist who went undercover in the world of animal sex. One of the things I remember was that calves were popular because of their suckle reflex...

The problem is that the gratification of sex is for 90% or so psychological. At the physiological level the body doesn't experience all that much difference between one stimulation or the other. It's what you know is happening and with whom, that makes the difference.

Yip, I first noted this while working on a dairy farm.. If you put your hand through the rails, they immediately get to work on your fingers and thumb.. does not take much imagination to work out what goes through the rails next..

Now I think of it, I got most of my sex education working in the farm.. I still use similar methods of restraint that they used on the hefiers when the bull served them...

My courtship rituals in particular usually comprise of stealthy approaches from behind and a choloroformed gag..

Of course, breed sow selection is the key to healthy genestock..

Rack em up Leroy!!

I don't know the exact percentage. You can watch a movie while using it, read something, fantasize. There is no problem and there are loads of satisfied customers which have made i.e. the Fleshlight such a big success.

You sound like a frequent user :-)

That's my point: it's fantasy and it just doesn't have the same impact.

What I was thinking about in the far future: a device that sends signals to the brain that are very similar to the ones that it receives during sex. There's no actual need for physical intercourse, as long as the brain thinks it's happening, it's happening. You could select the most beautiful women from a touch screen, put on the helmet or whatever and lie back.

Would probably be banned due to addictiveness.

Simpler solution still: medication that allows you to regulate your libido without undesirable side-effects so it makes you less vulnerable to exploitation by women and the sex-industry.

Of course it's not the same. However sex toys substantially enhance the experience.

I note a lot of MGTOW members have Star Wars names for their online identity... I'm going to name myself "Hand Solo" I think...

Lol, my nickname is from a popular PC RPG game called Diablo II.
