Brazilian Boy Born With TWO P*nises Gets Bigger Duplicate Chopped Off

A Brazilian boy was born with two p*nises where his members were conjoined at the base because of his one-in-5million birth defect.

Doctors at the Federal University of São Paulo have chopped off his bigger p*nis but were originally planning on removing the two-year-old’s right p*nis — which was smaller.

Brazilian Boy Born With TWO P*nises Gets Bigger Duplicate Chopped Off

Brazilian medics were originally planning on chopping off the smaller of the two p*nises, however, scans revealed the larger genitalia did not allow the passage of urine. Surgeons decided to lop off the other one after the boy’s mother also revealed he could only urinate from his right.

Examinations showed his left p*nis didn’t function correctly because its urethra was too narrow for urine to pass through.

The boy, whose identity wasn’t revealed even left with a stump because surgeons were able to completely detach his extra p*nis.

Detailing the case in the Journal of Pediatric Urology, surgeons did not explain why the boy’s issue was only fixed when he was two. The authors also didn’t say how much bigger his left p*nis was.

Marcela Leal da Cruz and colleagues said the defect — known as diphallia — has only ever been spotted 100 times in history, with the first known case in 1609.

Experts estimate the condition affects about one out of every five to six million baby boys.

How diphallia occurs is unclear with no known single risk factor — but it’s thought to happen by chance when genitalia develops in the womb. Patients can either have complete diphallia, when both p*nises are well developed, such as in the Brazilian boy’s case, or partial diphallia when one p*nis is smaller or deformed.

A man with two p*nises can urinate or ejaculate from one or both, according to reports.

Earlier this month MailOnline reported a case of a Uzbekistani boy born with two completely functional p*nises.

The unidentified boy, from the country’s capital, Tashkent, lived with the condition for seven years without physical discomfort.

Unlike the Brazilian boy, the Uzbekistani child was able to pass urine out of both of his p*nises, which were conjoined at the shaft.

The case comes after a world-first last year where Iraqi medics reported a boy being born with three p*nises, a defect known as Triphalia.

The one-in-6million condition; Diphalia is an extraordinarily rare defect where a boy is born with two p*nises, with the first recorded case dating back to the 1600s.

Triphallia — which hadn’t ever been recorded in medical literature until now — is the term for having three p*nises. The condition is associated with other abnormalities, including being born with two scrotums or anuses.

An estimated one in every six million boys is born with the condition, according to researchers. In most cases, the p*nises are the same size and sit side by side. In some men, the smaller p*nis will sit above the larger.
