I was wondering if anyone is aware of contemporary sources which
discuss, and attempt to explain, Rashi's and Rambam's view of the
Mishnah's description of the female reproductive system (Niddah 2:5
[17b]).

Artscroll explains that the average woman had diseases that created
artificial connections between parts where there is no physical connection.
I know of no basis for this speculation but they at least realize the
problem
