A DANCER has told of how a routine gynaecologist appointment led to the discovery that she has two complete reproductive systems. As a teenager, Paige, now 20, suffered from irregular periods but didn't think much of it for years. That was until, aged 18, she went for a checkup, and was immediately referred for an MRI scan, which revealed that she has two vaginas, two uteruses, and two cervixes, separated by a thin piece of tissue called a septum. Initially, medics thought she had uterine didelphys, but it has recently been confirmed that she has a similar, much rarer condition called complete septate uterus. "Doctors hadn't seen a patient like me in 10 years," she said.
Last year, Paige decided to speak out about her condition on TikTok, in a bid to raise awareness. And now, while the complications her condition may present in the future remain unclear especially when it comes to having children she is determined to not be held back and has even found love with boyfriend Hugh. She said: "We shouldn't feel like we have to hide our bodies. It's our bodies. We were born with them. Let's talk about it."
