The term intersex describes a variety of conditions in which a person is born with reproductive or sexual organs that do not the typical definition of male or female (Dokpesi, P., Phipps, L., Rich, A., Rudraraju, H., Tiwar, S., 2016). One of the causes believed to cause individuals to be intersex has to do with chemicals in the environment affecting the fetus's development and interrupting the endocrine system  (Dokpesi, P., Phipps, L., Rich, A., Rudraraju, H., Tiwar, S., 2016). Some Studies show that the fetus is begins to differentiate sex organs as early as the seventh week of gestation, and during that time the fetus is most susceptible to chemicals in the environment (Dokpesi, P., Phipps, L., Rich, A., Rudraraju, H., Tiwar, S., 2016). One of the various conditions of intersex is vaginal agenesis (Killermann, 2014, p. 7). Vaginal Agenesis is when a child is born without a vagina or is missing other reproductive organs (Boston Children's Hospital, (n.d). The specific cause of this condition is unknown, but it does affect every 1 out of 6000 births (Boston Children's Hospital, (n.d). The signs and symptoms surrounding the condition is: some girls have no vagina and no uterus, some girls have a midline uterus but no vagina or cervix, there may be a small pouch or dimple where the vaginal opening should be, after puberty the individual may experience a lack of a menstrual cycle, and lower abdominal pain if a uterus is present without a connection to the vaginal canal (Boston Children's Hospital, (n.d). This condition can cause infertility and insecurities, however it can be treated without surgery (Boston Children's Hospital, (n.d). Typically all of the external genitals are present and functioning so sex can still be pleasurable, however the individual may have to use vaginal dilators to create a vaginal opening (Boston Children's Hospital, (n.d). The individual can have her eggs fertilized with her partner's sperm and when ready implanted in a surrogate (Boston Children's Hospital, (n.d).
