When a human being is being created during a pregnancy the DNA normally knows how to execute everything correctly and make a fully functional and normal human being. However, sometimes the DNA can send out instructions multiple times or things can go wrong. There are people who get born with an extra finger on one of their hands but in other cases, the condition goes by unnoticed. This is what doctors recently figured out when they discovered that a man had lived for 78 years with 3 penises! Keep on reading and discover more about it.
The first documented Case!
It is not the first time that a man has been diagnosed with having multiple genitalia, but the condition is very rare. It is only seen once in around 5,5 million live births. However, when it happens it is “common” that the person has two penises, making the man with 3 penises a very unique case!
There have been cases of people having two penises with medical records going all the way back to the 1600s. However, the 78-year-old man was the first adult case of three penises ever recorded. A couple of years ago there was a boy who had this condition as well. Unfortunately, he didn’t make it to the adult age!
The man probably never noticed Three Penises!
Even though this man had three penises, he probably never noticed. This is because in most cases the other organs start growing inside the first or the main one. So it is not always visible. For this man, this was the case too, as one of the penises grew inside of another. This is also a reason why the man never noticed it and the last one wasn’t connected to anything!
And since he never really had any need for surgery down there, even his doctors had no idea! The lack of symptoms also helped the condition to go unnoticed for more than 78 years. Due to local UK law, the identity of the person is kept private
