Dr Brian Steixner, a urologist at the Jersey Urology Group in Atlantic City, revealed that one of his patients had become pregnant after engaging in anal sex.
The woman had a rare condition called ‘cloacal malformation’ which is said to affect one in 50,000 people. The condition occurs during the developmental stage in the womb itself, where the vagina, rectum and urethra fail to separate into three tubes and bodily fluids drain into one channel.
The woman reportedly went through surgery when she was young to fix the problem. However, it wasn’t successful as a tiny hole was left connecting her womb to the rectum.
An X-ray revealed that she was indeed pregnant. Natural childbirth was not an option for the woman and hence C-section was performed.
