A woman who was born with two vaginas, two wombs, and two cervixes has spoken out about her condition and the six surgeries she underwent to correct the anomaly.
Elizabeth Amoaa, originally from Ghana but now residing in Walsall, Birmingham, was diagnosed with uterus didelphys in 2015 after suffering for years with no idea what was wrong.
She stated on Rainbow Radio 87.5Fm’s mid-morning show that she had been in and out of the hospital with stomach pain since the age of ten, but doctors had repeatedly dismissed her condition.
I didn’t get the answer I had been looking for for years until I turned 31.
I had six surgeries in three years, as well as a silent miscarriage that nearly killed me, she explained.
“I used to complain a lot about stomach pain, but when my mother took me to the hospital, the doctors just gave me iron supplements and multivitamins and said I was anaemic or had a yeast infection. I was diagnosed with my condition at the age of 31.”
Elizabeth moved to the United Kingdom from France in 2003, where she was diagnosed with fibroids, which are non-cancerous growths in the uterine wall.
She was also told that having a child would be difficult, so she was advised to stop taking the pill.
”But to the glory of God, I have been able to deliver and she is a beautiful daughter,” she added.
She disclosed that ”at a point, the doctors claimed she was mentally unstable. I was questioning myself if I was okay. At times, I was crying and asking what was wrong with me. I thought I was going to die, but I have survived six surgeries”.
