Nicci has candidly opened up about her struggles

A BRAVE woman who was born with two vaginas has spoken out about the struggles she faced with the rare condition.

Nicci, will feature on a BBC3 documentary The Woman With Two Vaginas: Living Differently, which will be available online later this month.

Brave Nicci has spoken out about the condition which has caused her so many problems

In the eye-opening documentary she discusses the prolonged periods, numerous miscarriages and the hysterectomy she had to undergo as a result.

Aside from the physical issues, Nicci spoke candidly about the emotional effects of the condition.

She said: “Some guys view you as a trophy and a goal when they find out, like: ‘I had sex with a girl with two vaginas’.

“I felt like a freak of nature.”

In the documentary, she described how her condition had made her feel so bad that she was forced to have a hysterectomy.

She said: “I found out I had two vaginas when I was 17.

“I first knew something was wrong when I was a teenager and I was bleeding more than I should.

“The pain was intolerable and, while on my period, I couldn’t function.

“My doctor told me I had two wombs, two vaginas and two cervixes.

“There were times when I had to wear adult nappies because tampons and pads weren’t enough.”

Nicci found out she had to vaginas at 17 years old

To treat the unbearably heavy periods Nicci was offered hormone treatment, which proved ineffective and made her periods extend to up to four weeks.

Nicci explained that prior to having surgery her vaginal opening – which was externally normal – would funnel up and split into a Y-shape with two vaginal canals.

She is now happily married to Andy, who she met 19 years ago at high school

She said: “The condition has affected my life severely. Relationships with my friends and boyfriends especially.”

Nicci is happily married to Andy, who she met 19 years ago in high school, but the couple suffered three miscarriages as a result of her condition.

Following Nicci’s hysterectomy, the couple intend to adopt children

Fed up with the pain and disappointment Nicci opted for a double hysterectomy, which meant that she would never be able to conceive children.

During the surgery, doctors reconstructed Nicci’s vagina so that she now only has vaginal opening.

The couple hope to adopt children in the near future.

Reports suggest that one in around every 3,000 women are affected by the condition, early this year we brought you news of a woman who was struggling to get pregnant and was stunned to discover she had a second vagina and womb.
