In trending news on Ghana Twitter feed, 24-year-old woman was sitting in her living room when she was accidentally shot in the clitoris by a stray bullet. The bullet, measuring 2cm, came through the ceiling, causing the woman to experience severe pain.
This is a shocking and concerning incident that highlights the dangers of gun violence and the devastating impact it can have on innocent individuals. The fact that the bullet lodged in the woman's clitoris is a particularly unusual and distressing aspect of the case.
She was rushed to the hospital where CT scans showed that the bullet had lodged inside her clitoris, requiring surgery to remove it safely. This case is believed to be the first of its kind, according to the doctors who treated her.
The woman explained to the obstetrics and gynecology team that she had been sitting in her lounge when the stray bullet fell through the ceiling. Pelvic exams showed where the bullet had penetrated the clitoris, while CT scans confirmed the placement of the bullet.
Under local anesthesia, medics removed the bullet from her clitoris. She was discharged the following day and had no further complications at her follow-up appointments a month later. It is extremely rare for non-obstetric vulva trauma, or physical injury to the vulva when not pregnant, to occur.
The reaction on social media from Ghanaians reflects a mix of outrage, empathy, and concern for the victim. Many are calling for stricter gun control laws and greater education on firearm safety. Others are expressing their sympathy for the woman and wishing her a full recovery.
Overall, this incident serves as a reminder of the importance of addressing the root causes of gun violence and implementing measures to prevent it from causing harm to innocent individuals.
