“The girl didn’t have the vagina since her birth. Doctors cut a part of her intestine to create the vagina,” said Dr Laddha.
The girl, who was born in 2005, has been under severe stress in the absence of a reproductive organ, Dr Laddha said.
Besides vagina, the girl did not have anus as well.
Doctors had conducted three surgeries to create that organ within a year of her birth, he said.
