A WOMAN who was born with a rare condition has revealed what it's really like to live with two vaginas.

Leanne also spoke candidly about the difficulties of getting pregnant with her condition, saying it is a high-risk pregnancy.

"It's never worked out for me, and that's ok, it would have to be a c-section."

She explained that technically, she could get pregnant by two different men at the same time, with each baby being carried in different uteruses.

But this is only likely to happen if done within the same week – and it's not something she's looking to try and do.

Many people have asked Leanne exactly how her two vaginas look, one asked: "Okay but are the V's side by side? on top of each other? I'm confused as to how that looks."

"I’m so curious as to what that could possibly look like seriously," added another user.

In another TikTok video, Leanne showed a diagram comparing how her vaginas look compared to someone with one vagina.

Leanne shared how her vagina looks just like others on the outside but that there are two tunnels with a septum down the middle which separates them.

Each tunnel leads to a different cervix and uterus, but other than that it's practically the same.

Lenane is sharing her story to raise awareness about the condition and has many videos that go in-depth about living with uterus didelphys.

Many viewers praised her for her bravery in telling her story.

One wrote: "See you learn something new and interesting every single day. Cheers to you for speaking about it."

WHAT IS UTERUS DIDELPHYS

Uterus didelphys is a rare condition where a woman’s uterus fails to fuse properly during development in the woman.

Also known as double uterus, the condition means women are born with two uteri, two separate cervixes and sometimes two vaginas.

The two wombs are often slightly smaller than the average womb in order to allow them both to fit.

Symptoms:

A double uterus often causes no symptoms. The condition may be discovered during a regular pelvic exam or during imaging tests to determine the cause of repeated miscarriages.

Women who have a double vagina along with a double uterus may suffer heavy menstrual bleeding that isn't stopped by a tampon.

In these situations, the woman has placed a tampon in one vagina, but blood is still escaping from the second uterus and vagina.

Women who continue to bleed after a tampon has been used or have extreme menstrual pain should see a doctor.

Causes:

There is no known causes as to why some women develop two wombs, although genetic factors have been considered.

Risks and complications:

Many women have normal sex lives, pregnancies and deliveries.

But sometimes a double uterus can cause:

  • infertility
  • miscarriage
  • premature birth
  • kidney abnormalities
