For those curious, in this case you can say you have Müllerian agenesis syndrome. Or MRKH syndrome, or vaginal agenesis, which are other names. You then do have a vulva, though.
Another is estrogen insensitivity syndrome (though there are very few cases of these). People with these develop a masculine body (with testes and a penis).
WNT4 deficiency is also interesting, as it yields breast development but a lack of uterus and vagina, with hair growth on the breast and face.
Or, as the below poster said, no need to say anything. Shrug.
I would also not say anything when it’s likely not relevant. But unless you’re in danger by outing yourself I don’t think you should be lying to doctors about having conditions you do not or saying you’re intersex when you’re transgender.
It’s an abbreviation of Mayer–Rokitansky–Küster–Hauser syndrome.
Basically it’s a syndrome by which the Müllerian ducts (the embyrological precursors to certain reproductive parts) partially to fully don’t develop, resulting in a lacking uterus and vagina.

What would be the point or effect of saying “I have MRKH”?

So it’s to say “don’t expect me to have a functioning uterus”? I was worried I missed the point
Basically, yeah. The syndrome can occur with cisgender people too, so it’s a nice safe way to say you don’t have a uterus without outing yourself.
