An Indian businessman born with two penises wants one of them removed surgically as he wants to marry and lead a normal sexual life.
The 24-year-old man from the northern state of Uttar Pradesh admitted himself to a New Delhi hospital this week with an extremely rare medical condition called penile duplication or diphallus.
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.
There are about 100 such reported cases of diphallus around the world and it is known to occur among one in 5.5 million men.
