Man wins bet, loses penis

[The General]

A 30-year-old Latvian man was brought to Riga's hospital on July 20th, bleeding profusely after he cut off his own penis. The man, who was drunk when he performed the extreme self mutilation act, apparently did it to win a bet with his friend for 1000 lats ($2360).

Microsurgeon Aivars Tihonovs said, "We have had a few cases with penis traumas, when it was half-cut or damaged, but this is the first time that it was totally cut off - and brought to hospital in a plastic bag."



Doctors said also that it's too early to know if the three and a half hour operation was successful, and said it would take about six months to be sure that the man's penis is functioning properly.



Dr. Aivars Tihonovs, who later admitted being "really angry" because the injury was self-inflicted, also said that he's very proud to have performed that kind of operation which is still very rare and it's the first in the Latvian history.

Well if he happened to be this guy. No worries he had one penis to spare.

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.

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.

"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.

The newspaper did not disclose the identity of the man or the hospital to protect the patient's privacy.

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.

It is caused by the failure of the mesodermal bands in the embryo to fuse properly. The mesodermal bands are one of three primary layers of the embryo from which several body parts are formed.
