NEW DELHI (Reuters) - An Indian businessman born with two penises wants one of them removed surgically as he wants to marry and lead a normal sexual life, a newspaper report said Saturday.
印度一家报纸称,一名印度商人天生具有两支阴茎,当他想要结婚并拥有正常的性生活时,他决定通过外科手术将其中多余的一支摘除。
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, the Times of India said.
《印度时报》报道说,该男子现年24岁,来自印度北方邦。他近日前往新德里的一家医学就医,其所患病症在医学上被称为阴茎重复畸形。
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.
《印度时报》援引一名医生的话说:“即使在医学文献中都未曾提到过一个人可以具备两支功能完备的阴茎。绝大多数阴茎重复畸形患者的一支阴茎都是未发育的。”
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.
这名医生补充道,手术可能会遇到风险,因为该男子的这两支器官都功能完好,而对保留的那支阴茎而言,必须保证它的供血充足才能实现功能正常。
The newspaper did not disclose the identity of the man or the hospital to protect the patients privacy.
《印度时报》没有公开该男子的身份,或许是医院也要保护病人的隐私。
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, the newspaper said.
报道说,世界上大约有100例阴茎重复畸形患者,每550万男性中就会出现一例。
