The embryologic development of the vagina is still disputed. The urogenital sinus and the mesonephric (wolffian) and paramesonephric (müllerian) ducts probably all play a role in the development of the vagina. Duplication, agenesis, mesonephric duct remnants, and hymen abnormalities are among the more common congenital anomalies of the vagina.
阴道的胚胎发育仍存在争议。泌尿生殖窦以及中肾（沃尔夫管）和副中肾（苗勒管）可能都在阴道发育中发挥作用。重复、发育不全、中肾管残余以及处女膜异常是阴道较为常见的先天性异常情况。
