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."
