" It&amp;#039;s long been thought that you can&amp;#039;t get pregnant from having anal sex, but a doctor has now busted that belief by revealing that one of his patients did. It&amp;#039;s only likely to happen to one in 50,000 people - so it&amp;#039;s very rare - but can happen due to a rare condition called &amp;#039;cloacal malformation&amp;#039;.  Dr Brian Steixner, a urologist at the Jersey Urology Group in Atlantic City, told Men&amp;#039;s Health that he treated a woman with the condition when he was in medical school. The condition happens when rectum, vagina and urethra fail to separate into three tubes, which means they are all connected so urine and faeces drain into one channel. This channel opens where the anus is connected, and the woman had an operation to try and separate it when she was younger. However, it went wrong and caused a tiny hole which, in this case, caused her womb to become connected to the her rectum.  The woman was confused when she later became pregnant, telling doctors she had only had anal sex. &amp;quot;We knew about her condition, and we had followed her for a decade,&amp;quot; Steixner said. &amp;quot;After doing a whole bunch of X-rays, we determined that she got pregnant from having anal sex,&amp;quot;\u00A0Steixner said.  Thankfully, the baby was safely delivered via C-section, and Steixner got his &amp;quot;greatest story ever&amp;quot;. It sure is a hum-dinger.  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
