A teenage girl has gotten pregnant from oral sex through a series of events that are hard to believe.
Accordibg 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 vaginal opening, a rare birth defect called distal vaginal 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 vagina, 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 attacked 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 sperm she had swallowed had travelled to her reproductive organs from her stomach via these stab 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 sperm may have been able to survive because the girl was malnourished at the time of the stabbing.
They explained being malnourished can reduce the acidity of the digestive system and this had created the bizarre opportunity for the swallowed sperm 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, the man she was intimate with before the attack.
Further interviews with the girl revealed that she was aware she had no vagina after “disappointing attempts at conventional intercourse” and as a result preferred oral s£x.
She also detailed that in months before giving birth she had been worried about the increasing size of her abdomen but, given she didn’t have a vagina, she “did not believe she was pregnant”.
