Uterovaginal agenesis (Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome: MRKH) is a congenital abnormality of the female genital tract, characterized by the non-formation of the vagina and uterus. There is a widespread agreement that MRKH has a lasting negative psychological impact on women with this condition, but as yet little is known about how to conceptualize and manage this. We developed a cognitive-behavioural group treatment (CBT) of MRKH. The aim of the present study was to determine whether this intervention, compared to waiting-list control, improves psychosocial outcomes in women with MRKH.
