1988 Case: How Pregnancy Occurred Without Intercourse
13 Apr
Summary
- Pregnancy reportedly occurred without intercourse, challenging conventional understanding.
- A 1988 case involved a stab wound allowing sperm to reach the ovary.
- Sperm can survive in saliva due to its high pH levels.
A medical case from 1988, involving a 15-year-old girl reportedly becoming pregnant after oral sex without intercourse, has resurfaced. The documented event, published in the British Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, required significant medical clarification to understand its unusual circumstances.
According to the case study shared by Dr. Ankita Shahasane, the pregnancy was traced to a traumatic incident nine months prior. Following oral sex with her boyfriend, the girl was involved in a knife fight, sustaining abdominal stab wounds.
Medical professionals determined that sperm, capable of surviving in saliva due to its high pH, may have entered the abdominal cavity through these perforations. This route allowed the sperm to reach the ovaries and tubes, leading to conception and a pregnancy that defied conventional definitions of sexual intercourse.
