Medics have recorded a unique case of a teenage girl who became pregnant from giving oral s£x through a series of events that are hard to believe.
According to DailyMail, the unnamed 15-year-old from Lesotho, in Southern Africa, visited hospital complaining of abdominal pain, only for tests to reveal she was nine months pregnant and about to give birth.
Doctors were shocked to discover the girl didn’t have a v@ginal opening, a rare birth defect called distal v@ginal atresia that scientists estimate only affects between one in 4,000 to 10,000 newborn girls.
This should have made it impossible for the teen to have become pregnant without the aid of technologies like in vitro fertilization (IVF).
The condition also made it impossible for her to give birth through her v@gina, with her son having to be delivered via C-section instead.
Her situation left medics puzzled and they questioned the girl on how she became pregnant and eventually learned that nine months prior she had visited a hospital for a stab wound to her stomach region shortly after giving oral s£x.
She told a nurse she had been att@cked by her ex when he found her performing the s£x act on her new boyfriend.
Medics, writing in the British Journal of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, said this led them to conclude the sp£rm she had swallowed had travelled to her reproductive organs from her stomach via these st@b wounds, resulting in conception.
But there was one piece of the puzzle still missing.Acid found in the digestive system, which breaks down food into nutrients for the body, is normally potent enough to easily k!ll sperm.
However, the medics think the sp£rm may have been able to survive because the girl was malnourished at the time of the st@bbing.
They explained being malnourished can reduce the acidity of the digestive system and this had created the bizarre opportunity for the swallowed sp£rm to reach her uterus via the knife wound.
Medics said the final piece of evidence that helped rule out what they termed a “more miraculous conception” was that the boy, born weighing 6.2 pounds (2.8kg) grew up to resemble his father
