No vagina is not techically accurate.

I have never heard of anyone who had this medical condition.

Müllerian agenesis is a congenital malformation in women characterised by a failure of the müllerian ducts to develop, resulting in a missing uterus and fallopian tubes and variable malformations of the upper portion of the vagina. Mullerian agenesis is the second most common cause of primary amenorrhea after gonadal failure (such as from Turner syndrome). The condition is also called MRKH or Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser Syndrome, named after August Franz Joseph Karl Mayer, Carl Freiherr von Rokitansky, Hermann Küster, and G.A.Hauser.

Signs and symptoms

A woman with this condition is hormonally normal; that is, she will enter puberty with development of secondary sexual characteristics including thelarche (breasts) and adrenarche (pubic hair). Her chromosome constellation will be 46,XX. Ovaries are intact and ovulation usually occurs. Typically, the vagina is shortened and intercourse may in some cases be difficult and painful. Medical examination supported by gynecologic ultrasonography demonstrates a complete or partial absence of the cervix, uterus, and vagina.
If there is no uterus, women with MRKH cannot carry a pregnancy. However, it is possible for these women to have genetic offspring by in vitro fertilisation (IVF) and surrogacy. Uterine transplantation is currently not a treatment that can be offered as the technology is still in its infancy.
Women with MRKH typically discover the condition when, during puberty years, the menstrual cycle does not start (primary amenorrhea). Some women find out earlier through surgeries for other conditions, such as a hernia.
There are two forms of MRKH. One form is associated with the absence of just the vagina and uterus, while the other affects additional parts of the body, too. Of those with the form that affects additional parts of the body, 40% will have kidney abnormalities (15% of these girls/women will be born with only one kidney instead of two), 10% will have hearing problems, and 10-12% will have skeletal abnormalities. [1]
In 1988, a 15-year-old girl living in the small southern African nation of Lesotho came to local doctors with all the symptoms of a woman in labor. The doctors were puzzled, however, because she did not have a vagina, only a shallow skin dimple. Doctors traced her pregnancy to a knife wound to her abdomen 278 days earlier, after she had practiced fellatio on her boyfriend. The sperm had leaked from her stomach to her abdominal cavity and fertilized one of her eggs. This case was reported by Dr. Richard Paulson, head of the University of Southern California Fertility Program in Los Angeles, February 3, 2010.[2]

Causes

The cause of MRKH is unknown. Several genes have been tested to study the possibility of the syndrome being genetic, but no single factor has yet been identified to be responsible for it. [3] What doctors do know is that when a fetus grows in a mother’s uterus, many systems develop, including the reproductive system (which includes the uterus, vagina, fallopian tubes, and ovaries). This system is formed during the first few months of a fetus growing in a mother’s womb. With MRKH, the reproductive system starts to develop, but it doesn’t completely finish.

Did a fast check just in case, no.

Although perhaps it could be the set of dentures I need.

Am I the only one who thinks this sounds incredibly unlikely? I mean if sperm can leak from her stomach into other parts of her body and her reproductive system then all kinds of crap would be leaking everywhere internally. She would die of septicemia in days.

I agree. Sperm have enough of a battle to get through the antibody obstacle course of the human immune system when conception is made through the standard route. The whole concept of sperm surving the stomach is absolute nonsense. Even the saliva acids would destroy them within seconds - let alone the much stronger digestive acids of the stomach.

This whole thing strikes me as being typical of the reliability of Wikipedia.
