Local media outlets mentioned how the little baby boy was a Kurd who hailed from the district of Duhok. Moreover, he was first brought inside the hospital by his mom and dad, when he was just 3 months old. His parents reported visited the doctor over complaints relating to how the child suffered from swelling in the scrotum area.
Upon arrival, doctors immediately recognized the ‘extra findings,’ which comprised of one 2-centimeter long member that sprouted near the root area of his main penis. Next, there was another one, about 1 centimeter long that was situated, right under his sack.
The anomaly was very mysterious as the baby was not exposed to any drugs while sitting in his mother’s womb. In the same way, he did not have any family history that related to any genetic aberrations either, reported the study.
As per the case report, doctors opted to surgically nip the additional penises as they didn’t have any urethras, which is the tube through which urine passes.
Thankfully, one month later, the baby appeared to be problem-free and doing well, mentioned the report.
