The World’s Youngest Mother
As I'm studying medicine, I got idea of sharing all interesting cases with all of you. After all...knowledge is power, more you know - more valuable you are.
Also, these cases could be one of topics you could have during your Morning caffe.
Medical science has once again proved the unbelievable!
Lina Medina of Peru is the youngest girl in history to have ever given birth. She is the world’s youngest mother. At the time of delivery, she was five years, seven months and seventeen days old. Her parents initially believed that she had an abdominal tumor for which they took her to see a doctor. It was then revealed that she was seven months pregnant.
Naturally, the surgery was Caesarian since Medina’s pelvis was too small for a normal birth.
Doctors revealed the condition of Lina as precocious puberty, where her reproductive organs started to develop by the age of 2.5, when she reached menarche. By the time she was examined, her reproductive system had fully matured.
Medina gave birth to a baby boy who weighed 2.7 kilograms, he lived up to the age of forty, after which he died of a bone marrow disease. However, the bigger picture is that she’s 79 today and she still holds the record for being the world’s youngest mother in history. Medical science can really scare you sometimes!

I think u've missed sharing the essential information, how does a five year old girl gets pregnant?
It's explained biologically, but it's unknown who did that, her father was charged, but due to lack of arguments, he's released.
in her case if i recall perfectly well (its a while since i have read this one) it was her fathers... or brother
Yes, it's even in our books now, we got that as sub-question during exam.
