Naturally, having no anal canal at birth causes a host of health issues, and Anja remembers how frequently she visited the hospital as a young child.
“As a child, I didn’t even know there was anything wrong with me,” she said to The Courier Mail. I had so many operations and admissions that I essentially lived in a hospital for my first five years of existence.”
Anja, who is currently employed as a model and resides in Australia, mentioned that even after having the illness her entire life, talking about it still presents challenges.
“No matter how many times I talk about this, I still feel vulnerable,” she posted on TikTok. It is really odd to try to describe being born with one pelvic opening rather than three.
Thus, my urethra, anal entrance, and both of my vaginas exit through a single hole. Women are expected to have three. I possessed one.”
Anja had her first operation at the age of five hours, during which she had a vesicostomy and colostomy to allow waste to exit her body.
