"This month it didn't come, next month it didn't come, and it will never come!" A highly unusual case was discovered in the Taoyuan area. A teenage girl who had passed the age of puberty and sexual development still had not menstruated. After a hospital examination, it was found that the girl had no uterus—she was actually biologically male.
Taoyuan Min-Sheng General Hospital reported that a girl over 16 years old had developed all the secondary sexual characteristics of puberty, but her period never arrived. Concerned, her parents brought her to the hospital for a checkup, where it was discovered that she had no uterus.
The hospital stated that after conducting ultrasound and chromosomal analysis, it was determined that the girl was biologically male. Due to the inability of male hormones in her body to produce the expected effects, the male genitalia that should have developed did not fully form. Instead, the effects of female hormones were very pronounced. For over a decade, the parents had raised "him" as a girl.
The hospital recommended that the patient undergo further evaluation before considering surgical intervention. 1000802
