Bizarre Story of a Knife Fight, Vagina-less Pregancy
This is the wildest story I’ve heard in a long time. A 15-year old girl in Lesotho, Africa was taken to doctors because she was in labor.
But she had a birth defect called Mullerian agenesis, which means she was born without a functioning vagina. So…how did that happen?
Yet by looking at her records the hospital staff realized the young woman was in the hospital 278 days earlier with a knife wound to her stomach. The average pregnancy lasts 280 days. After interviews, they gathered that “Just before she was stabbed in the abdomen she had practiced fellatio with her new boyfriend and was caught in the act by her former lover. The fight with knives ensued.”
The girl arrived at the hospital with an empty stomach — and therefore with little stomach acid around — and doctors found two holes from a stab wound that opened her stomach up to her abdominal cavity. The case report said doctors washed her stomach out with a salt solution and stitched her up.
“A plausible explanation for this pregnancy is that spermatozoa gained access to the reproductive organs via the injured gastrointestinal tract,” the authors wrote.
