Hazel Jones, 27, was born with double vaginas, cervixes and uteruses.
When British television aired a story about
a woman who had been born with double the equipment – two vaginas, two
cervixes and two uteruses – Internet commenters piped in and said, “Me,
too!”
Hazel Jones, a 27-year-old from High Wycombe, has a rare, but not
unheard of condition called uterus didelphys, which is not easily
diagnosed until a woman’s sex organs develop as she enters puberty.“It’s not that crazy at all, even though it sounds like a sci-fi thing,” said Vincenzo Berghella, director of maternal fetal medicine at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia. “We see many couples, maybe one a month or more.”
Jones, who got her diagnosis at 18 after suffering for years from menstrual cramps, shared her story this week with ITV’s show “This Morning.”
