Rare medical case: Woman with two uteruses and two vaginas treated in Lucknow

A young woman from Ballia, born with two uteruses and two vaginas, has regained bladder and bowel control following three complex surgeries at Dr Ram Manohar Lohia Institute of Medical Sciences in Lucknow. Led by Prof Ishwar Ram Dhayal, the medical team treated a rare combination of congenital anomalies, marking the institute’s first case of its kind.

Doctors in Lucknow have successfully treated a young woman born with two uteruses and two vaginas, a rare congenital condition that severely affected her quality of life since childhood. Following a series of complex surgeries, she has regained bladder control and achieved near-normal bowel function, allowing her to live independently for the first time.

A life-long struggle with daily challenges

The woman, a resident of Ballia district, was born with multiple congenital abnormalities. From an early age, she had no control over urination and depended on diapers. As she grew older, the condition persisted, along with severe bowel movement difficulties that caused constant discomfort and social distress.

Her family sought treatment at several hospitals over the years, but no lasting solution was found. Eventually, they approached Dr Ram Manohar Lohia Institute of Medical Sciences in Lucknow for specialised care.

Detailed medical investigations revealed three major congenital issues. Doctors found that she had two fully developed uteruses and two vaginas. In addition, her urinary ducts opened at abnormal locations, leading to continuous urine leakage. Her anal opening was also improperly formed and positioned very close to the vaginal area, further complicating bowel function. Together, these conditions made normal daily life extremely difficult.

Three-stage surgery planned by expert team

A multidisciplinary medical team led by urology specialist Prof Ishwar Ram Dhayal planned a carefully staged surgical approach. The first surgery corrected the anal passage to improve bowel movement. This was followed by two additional procedures aimed at restoring urinary control by correcting the abnormal placement of the urinary ducts.

Each stage required meticulous planning due to the complexity of the condition. According to Prof Dhayal, all three surgeries were successful. The patient now has control over urination, and her bowel-related issues have largely resolved.

Doctors described the case as medically challenging and life-changing. The woman and her family have expressed immense relief after years of physical hardship and emotional stress. The institute noted that this is the first case of its kind handled at the state level.
