Teen with no vaginal opening gets pregnant after a stabbing incident—doctors weighed in

Medical mysteries can sometimes challenge everything we think we know about the human body.
Rare conditions and extraordinary circumstances can lead to outcomes that seem almost impossible—until they happen.
One such case left doctors completely baffled when a teenager arrived at the hospital with severe pain, only for tests to reveal an astonishing truth.
A teenager from Lesotho with no vaginal opening shocked doctors when she arrived at a hospital in severe pain, only to discover she was nine months pregnant.
The 15-year-old had been experiencing abdominal cramps, which medical staff soon identified as labour contractions.
A report published in the British Journal of Obstetrics & Gynaecology revealed that the girl had vaginal agenesis, a rare congenital condition affecting roughly one in 4000–10,000 female births.
Without a vaginal canal, conception through traditional means should have been impossible without medical assistance such as in vitro fertilisation (IVF).
Due to her condition, she was unable to deliver naturally, and doctors performed a C-section to safely deliver a healthy 2.8 kg baby boy.
Confused by how the pregnancy occurred, medical staff delved into her history to find answers.
Nine months earlier, the girl had been hospitalised with a stab wound to her abdomen after being attacked by her ex-boyfriend.
She told a nurse that the violent altercation occurred when he caught her performing oral sex on a new partner, describing the incident as a ‘mini war’.
Medical experts later determined that sperm had likely entered her reproductive system through her stab wounds, resulting in the pregnancy.
‘The fact that the son resembled the father excluded it as an even more miraculous conception,’ the doctors reported.
Normally, stomach acid is strong enough to destroy sperm before it reaches the reproductive system.
However, doctors theorised that because the girl was malnourished at the time, her stomach’s acidity may have been low, allowing the sperm to survive.
They suggested this rare set of circumstances made fertilisation possible.
The girl later admitted she had realised she lacked a vaginal opening after unsuccessful attempts at conventional intercourse, leading her to engage in oral sex instead.
Though the case originally occurred in 1988, it resurfaced following reports of a Scottish woman who only discovered she was pregnant minutes before giving birth.
In a previous story, we explored the dangers of allergic reactions in intimate settings.
This tragic case highlights the importance of understanding severe allergies and their life-threatening risks.
