translated from Spanish: Paige DeAngelo the model who has an unusual medical condition: she has two uteruses, two vaginas and double period

Paige DeAngelo is a 20-year-old Tik-Tok influencer, which went viral in recent days, because on her account she told her thousands of followers, about the unusual medical condition she was born with. The young woman, has two uteruses, two vaginas and discovered her unusual case, because she consulted the gynecologist because she had the menstrual period either very long, or twice in the same month. That is, every 15 days instead of once every 28 days.” I always had a very irregular period, but it was actually two cycles that started and ended,” he explained to The Mirror. “Sometimes it’s once a month and other times twice a month, just a couple of weeks apart.” Thinking that it was an issue of irregularity, and that perhaps in time it could be corrected alone, he postponed the visit to the specialist. But when he finally went to the doctor, at the age of 18, he did a series of studies and asked him to go to the mother to give him the result.
“She didn’t tell me right away, but when I saw the expression on her face I knew something wasn’t right,” the girl recalls. “I thought it was a little fun at first. I had never heard of it, but then when I went back to the gynecologist and talked about what it involved, that’s when I realized it,” reveals Paige.Studies showed that Paige has what’s called uterine didelphus, or also called Wunderlich’s syndrome, which is not a disease or a malformation, but it’s something highly unusual.

Your body works perfectly, only having two uteruses has two different periods: one for each vagina. And this also gives her the possibility of a double gestation, but absolutely independent of each other, making her more likely to have miscarriages and preterm births.” I’m in a Facebook support group with girls who have the condition and many of them have one child every five miscarriages,” she said. But she doesn’t lose hope: “It’s disheartening, but I’m an optimistic person, the fact that people have had children is what keeps me active,” she confessed. Once he made his syndrome viral the frequent question of his followers had to do with how did he not realize it before? to which the young woman explained that: “it does not have two external vaginas, but one that divides internally. And “Each ‘side’ is half the size of a normal vagina. It doesn’t cause any problems, but it definitely shows,” he admitted.
