- People with XX chromosomes can have a broad range of variations in how their Müllerian ducts (which typically form the uterus, fallopian tubes, cervix, and upper portion of the vagina) develop. They might have a variation that causes their uterus to develop with a different shape than typical, or to be doubled. Others may have vaginal variations such as a “hemivagina” (where one side of the vagina is obstructed, which can sometimes block menstrual blood from exiting), or a band of tissue dividing the vaginal canal (known as a vaginal septum). Müllerian duct variations usually don’t cause someone to have any variations in their ovaries or hormone production.
