"I think I'm twice the woman who I believed to be."
After the US-American Cassandra Bankson (22) had undergone a kidney scan because of persistent pain in the back, her doctor came back with a surprising message: You indeed have only one kidney - but two vaginas!
"I was shocked," Bankson said in an interview with " Barcroft TV". The gynecologist had told her that it looks just like an "upturned nose". Her rare double facilities also include two uteri and cervices - but only a vaginal opening.
"I think I'm twice the woman who I thought I was" , said the 22-year-old, who is a familiar face in the United States.
On her YouTube channel " DiamondsAndHeels1 " she presents her millions of fans make-up and facial care tutorials. According to her, she is the 22-year-old, who suffered from severe acne since she was born, and has now gone ugly duckling to beautiful swan.
As a young girl, explained Bankson in the interview, she had had her period up to 28 days on a regular basis. Often twice a month.
But at that time nobody, even not a doctor, came up with the idea two vaginas might be the reason, the 22-year-old said.
Whether this rare malformation of the uterus can affect her child-bearing was still not predictable by doctors. The phenomenon would be discovered only when the pregnancy, said her gynecologist Dena Harris.
