Introduction: Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome is a female congenital disorder characterized by an underdeveloped or absent vagina and uterus. The first-line treatment to create a neovagina is patient-performed vaginal dilatation. We report here the rare case of an MRKH patient who presented with urethral dilatation and was successfully treated with Davydov vaginoplasty. Case Report: Seventeen-year-old patient with known single kidney was consulted by a gynaecologist, and a diagnosis of MRKH syndrome was established. As the patient had urethral dilatation-resulting from repetitive intraurethral intercourse-neovaginal creation by means of self-performed vaginal dilatation was precluded. Rather, the Davydov vaginoplasty was successfully performed; there were no postoperative complications, and the patient was fully continent postsurgery. Conclusion: MRKH patients and healthcare providers should be educated on the damaging consequences of intraurethral intercourse. More cases need to be reported to establish the best treatment options for a normal sexual life.
