Man wants extra penis removed
AN INDIAN businessman born with two penises wants one of them
removed surgically as he wants to marry and lead a normal sex
life.
The 24-year-old man from the northern state of Uttar Pradesh
admitted himself into a New Delhi hospital this week with an
extremely rare medical condition called penile duplication or
diphallus, the Times of India reported on Saturday.
'Two fully functional penes is unheard of even in medical
literature. In the more common form of diphallus, one organ is
rudimentary,' the newspaper quoted a surgeon as saying.
The surgery was expected to be challenging as both organs were
well-formed and full blood supply to the retained penis had to be
ensured to allow it to function normally, he added.
