hello i have a question.... i recently went to a gyn because im 18 and havent ever had menenstration...i then had an ultasound and MRI because the gyn coulden't fully examine me because im a virgin. With the MRI i was found to not have a uterus..yes my whole life fell apart etc etc. and i had to go to an endocronologist.. he really doesent know what to do because, the MRI reports say there isint any female anatomy. he recommeneded i go to a teaching hospital. i just wanted to know if i should go.. of course i want to know whats going on with me but i really don't want to be poked and prodded like a lab specimen... has anyone ever been to one? what will happen? will they have to break my hymen to examine me?

Try not to worry too much.
This isn't unheard of in the medical world, so don't start thinking you are some sort of freak, because your not.
There maybe treatments that can help you, but of course without having all the info and scans I can't pass any further comment.
If at anytime you feel uncomfortable about any procedure or test you have the right to say no.
No one can force you to have anything you are not happy about.
Make a list of questions for your doctors...you know how it is, you have a thousand questions, then can't think of one or forget something that is important to you once you are in front of the doctor.
Good luck

A teaching hospital does not mean you will be a test specimen. It means that there are doctors who are lecturers also and must be up to date with the latest technology. This is a place where you will get the answers you need.
Good luck

well, you already know what the problem is, you have no female organs. Do you really need to know why? Frankly, I wouldn't bother with all the examinations the teaching hospital will want to do.

A gyn CAN fully examine you, virgin or not. If you were told you don't have a uterus.... Go to someone who knows what they're talking about.

you should go to a teaching hospital, but remember, you can tell them not to examine you with an internal. hopefully they will draw blood and due dna testing.goodluck;)michele
