A woman who was born without a womb, cervix and vagina has spoken out about the condition which means she’ll never be able to have children . Joanna Giannouli, 27, was unaware she had Rokitansky syndrome until she went to see a doctor after she hadn’t started her period like her other girls her age.
Medics discovered she didn’t have a vaginal tunnel and sent her for major surgery at the age of 17 to create one in order for her to have sex .
Rokitansky syndrome, which affects one in 5,000, means a woman is born with an underdeveloped or absent womb, cervix and upper vagina but have ovaries and external genitalia and still develop breasts and pubic hair.
The operation to create a vagina was revolutionary in Athens, Greece, where Joanna lives, but it left her in a lot of pain as the tunnel was ‘narrow and small’ and she had to go back to have the entrance expanded.
But now 10 years on from her operation she says that while she still has her battles, she’s not ashamed anymore as she’s realised there’s nothing that can be done to change it.
Joanna says she has been in a loving a stable relationship for the last five years, and her partner has known about the condition from the start and accepts they may never have children.
She added: “I would love to be a mother in some way, be it a biological, a surrogate mother or a foster mum. A mother is not the one who gives birth but is the woman who cares for a child.” However Joanna says that she is living each days as it comes and not making any plans for the future. She says one of the most heartbreaking things is that her mother believes she may have done something wrong in pregnancy to have caused it.
Joanna has explained to her mother that it’s a genetic condition – and one which is stigmatised particularly in Greece where she claims people are quite close-minded. But she told the broadcaster that by speaking out it has given her strength and courage and she wants to help other women in the same position.

The answer to that problem is simple. Her man can still enter her from d back with continuous back banging the manhood with creates vagina hole. climax is mindset and when it time to have kid she go for adoption. She doesn’t have to worry, cry, or look less life goes on.
It’s written that, in everything we should give thanks to our God.
