An artificial vagina is a gadget in the assortment of many erotic stores. However, an artificial vagina does not have to be used only for masturbation - in recent years, scientists have managed to grow an artificial vagina from cells obtained from donors who suffered from MRKH syndrome, which means the absence or underdevelopment of the vagina and uterus.

Artificial vaginacan mean a sex gadget for men, but the term is also used in medicine. It is defined as an operationally created vagina in women who, due to the congenital lack or defect of the reproductive organs, could not have sexual intercourse.

Artificial vagina, i.e. the male equivalent of a vibrator

You can get this gadget in sex-shops. It very faithfully reproduces the appearance of a woman's vagina together with the labia, and sometimes also the buttocks. It is made of rubber or cyberskin, which is a material that is velvety to the touch, which perfectly imitates the texture and firmness of human skin (toys made of it are usually more expensive).

An artificial vagina is used by men for masturbation - for many, the view of a vagina, even a rubber one, is much more exciting than the sight of … your own hand.

Manufacturers of sex toys try to meet the needs of customers as much as possible, which is why artificial vaginas are often additionally equipped with a vibrator or a suction mechanism. After folding, the item looks very innocent (e.g. like a flashlight), so even if someone around it comes across it, they will not realize what it is really for. The producers even took care of the hygiene issue - after "intercourse" the artificial vagina is enough to be stretched, turned inside out and washed with soap and water.

Why do men buy artificial vaginas?

Exactly - an artificial vagina in no way can compare with the real one. However, it is impossible to ignore the fact that in order to have a real intercourse, you need to meet a woman and seduce her, while using the gadget is simple, requires no effort and allows you to avoid the stress that accompanies shy men in dealing with women.

In addition, single sex is slowly becoming a sign of our times - the main reason is the daily pursuit and overwork, but the cult of individualism and deeper immersion in the world of new technologies are also doing their job. Men as well as women,Instead of building relationships that consume a lot of time and energy, they prefer to relieve tension quickly with the help of gadgets - such as artificial vaginas or vibrators.

Artificial vagina in medicine

An artificial vagina is not only a sexual gadget. For women with Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauserato syndrome (MRKH for short), it is a hope for a normal life.

MRKH syndrome manifests itself as congenital absence or underdevelopment of the vagina and uterus. Women suffering from this disease cannot have sexual intercourse and in most cases have no chance of becoming pregnant.

There are several treatments for MRKH. The best situation is for patients with a preserved vaginal diverticulum - it can be stretched and elongated mechanically to make it equal to the size of a normal organ. Women without it must undergo a mucosal incision operation where the entrance to the vagina should be. Then, doctors create a tunnel in the hole, into which they insert the prosthesis - its purpose is to prevent the tissues from fusing together. After three months, the patient must start intercourse or use special dilators, otherwise the opening will shrink.

Artificial vagina from the body's own cells

In 2014, there was a breakthrough in the field of vaginal reconstruction. At that time, the success of an 8-year experiment was announced, aimed at checking whether it was possible to successfully implant an artificial vagina grown from their own body cells in women suffering from MRKH syndrome.

Scientists took their vulva cells from four teenagers with MRKH syndrome (aged 13 to 18), and then grew them in special media on a scaffold shaped like a vagina. They implanted the cultured organ into the patients and waited for them to begin their sexual life. It turned out that women during intercourse do not feel any pain, what's more - they feel pleasure and are able to orgasm. The experiment was a complete success and gave hope to thousands of people suffering from this rare genetic disease.

Artificial vagina from male reproductive organs

Doctors are also able to "transform" male reproductive organs into artificial vaginas. Such operations are performed on transgender people. The testicles and head of the penis are removed to form the clitoris, while the scrotum and shaft of the penis are used to form the labia and vagina. After the procedure, the patient is able to lead a normal, satisfying sex life.
