Icedragon Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 (edited) As I am in medical science, I'd love to share an old weird medical story that a colleague pointed out to me: A 15-year old girl without external female genitalia has been found 9 months-pregnant after she has been to the same hospital due to a knife fight, 9 months before. Doctors can only guess how she might have gotten pregnant. Read the story and find the PDF of this publication here http://img2.timg.co.il/communafiles/21227065.pdf Why was she involved in the knife fight and why is that relevant? Just before she was stabbed in the abdomenshc had practised fellatio with her new boyfriendand was caught in the act by her former lover.The fight with knives ensued. Explanation: A plausible explanation for this pregnancy isthat spermatozoa gained access to the reproductiveorgans via the injured gastrointestinal tract.It is known that spermatozoa do not survive longin an environment with a low pH (Jeffcoate1975), but it is also known that saliva has a highpH and that a starved person does not produceacid under normal circumstances (Bernards &Bouman 1976).It is likely’that the patient became pregnantwith her first or nearly first ovulation otherwiseone would expect that inspissated blood in theuterus and salpinges would have made fertilizationdifficult. The fact that the son resembled thefather excludes an even more miraculousconception. Edited September 19, 2016 by Icedragon 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
