Vaginal agenesis is generally diagnosed and treated in adolescence, presenting special problems to the nursing management of these young women. Fifty‐four patients with this defect were assessed from diagnosis through 2–10 years after surgical correction. This article summarizes psychological and physical aspects of their care so that nurses may reduce the emotional impact of the defect on the young woman and promote self‐care capacities leading to an optimal surgical result and emotional well‐being
