Abstract

Background: Urethral coitus is rare and can arise in women who were born without a vagina, for instance in the context of Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome.<br />Case Description: A 16-year-old girl presented at the general practitioner's surgery with primary amenorrhoea. After a long diagnostic process she was diagnosed with MRKH syndrome and treatment with a vaginal dilator was started. During follow-up the patient reported pain on coitus and that she sometimes lost a lot of fluid during intercourse. It appeared that the patient had dilated her urethra, not her vagina, and that she had had urethral coitus. The patient underwent Davydovvaginoplasty without complications.<br />Conclusion: In patients with MRKH syndrome who experience urinary incontinence (particularly during and after coitus), recurrent urinary tract infections and dyspareunia urethral coitus should be suspected.
