Girl Suffering From Rare Disease Has No Reproductive Organ Or Womb

A teenager has spoken of her 'total shock' at being told at the age of 17 she had no honeypot. Jacqui Beck, 19, has MRKH, a rare syndrome which affects the reproductive system - meaning she has no womb, cervix or honeypotl opening.  She was only diagnosed after she went to her GP about back pain - and mentioned in passing that she hadn't started her periods.

Tests revealed her condition and that where her honeypot should be, there is simply an ident, or 'dimple' - meaning she is unable to made love or carry her own child.

Women with the condition appear completely normal externally - which means it is usually not discovered until a woman tries to made love, or has not had her first period.


Miss Beck, from the Isle of Wight, admits when she was first diagnosed, she felt 'like a freak'.
