Back in medical college, I have heard stories of malformed body parts like babies born with no bottom hole and intersex conditions for example, but when I heard the term blind vagina, I was curious to know what it was about. Female sexuality has always been an interesting subject. So I decided to dig deeper for answers. It turns out it was just another form of a rare medical condition known with an umbrella term vaginal atresia.

Fast-forward to date, a real-life situation reported by the media about a 20-year-old Pakistani woman who was regularly physically abused by her husband because he was always experiencing problems while having sex with her. I can imagine the man's frustration, but hitting the innocent lady wasn't necessary.

According to her medical history, she has never had a period. This, her mother thought was a result of delayed puberty; even though she was knowledgeable of other signs that showed something was off about her. She explained to the doctors that she’d been having lower abdominal discomfort over the past three years.

Contrary to the word for word interpretation of the name (a vagina that cannot see or an autistic vagina with emotional blindness), a “blind vagina” a form of vaginal atresia, also referred to as a “dead-end vagina”, is a short vaginal canal that has a section of tissue blocking the vagina, therefore making it shorter,' said Dr Sarah Welsh, co-founder of Hanx

Naturally, a regular vagina is about 3-4 inches (7.62cm – 10.16cm) long, which can ‘enlarge by 200 percent when sexually aroused, kind of like a balloon. Remember, the vagina was made to birth babies, so it's exceedingly elastic.’[3]

According to research published by J Obstet Gynaecol India. The incidence of the transverse vaginal septum or partial vaginal agenesis is 1 in 70,000 live births

The birth rate for Nigeria in 2019 was 37.684 births per 1000 people, a 1.09% decline from 2018. Assuming in Nigeria we have a population of 200,963,599 as of 2019 which means about 7573112 babies were born just last year, at least 1 baby would have vaginal atresia. That might be a negligible number but in 10years there may be more than 10 real cases in Nigeria.
