Man With Two Penises Wants One Removed

An Indian businessman born with two penises wants one of them removed surgically, saying he wants to marry and lead a normal sexual life.

The 24-year-old man from the north Indian state of Uttar Pradesh has admitted himself into a New Delhi hospital this week with an extremely rare medical condition called 'penile duplication' or 'diphallus'.

The surgery was expected to be difficult as both organs are well-formed and full blood supply to the retained penis had to be ensured to allow it to function normally.

"Two fully functional penises is unheard of even in medical literature. In the more common form of diphallus, one organ is rudimentary", says a surgeon for the case in a national newspaper.

The newspaper said there are about 100 such reported cases around the world and it is known to occur among one in 5.5 million men.
