24-year-old woman from Somalia has been rushed to the hospital after a 2cm bullet accidentally hit her clitoris while relaxing in her living room.
The stray bullet came through her ceiling.
CT scans showed that the bullet had penetrated the clitoris after being fired into her vulva, meaning she needed surgery to have it safely removed.
Doctors said the case is the first of its kind. They can remove the object from the vagina but extra care should be taken not to damage the urethra and pelvic area.
Images of the victim’s injury has been published in the International Journal of Surgery Case Reports.
‘Stray bullet injuries– which occur when a bullet is fired into the sky and it loses its energy and falls–are commonly seen in ‘residential areas in war-torn countries, such as Somalia’, Daily Mail’s Health Reporter, Emily Stearn stated in a report sighted by Kasatintin.com.
