In addition, it is worth noting that this man had a fully functioning male genital organ, so he never suspected the case. Thus, many people also end up wondering if they would be one of these rarities in the world.
This case is known clinically as Persistent Mullerian Duct Syndrome, or simply PDMS. It basically consists of the appearance of female reproductive organs in people who have a penis. This is because, at the beginning of pregnancy, the Mullerian duct, which is a kind of uterus, does not rupture, as it should in babies who develop a penis. Consequently, the “extra” organs remain in the person's body and are usually only discovered through further surgical interventions.
However, these rare cases are not accompanied by other symptoms, such as a disease that poses a risk to the body. Therefore, there are studies that indicate that some people live with this condition and do not even suspect it.
Although little is known about PDMS, doctors have managed to find some evidence of the presence of female sex organs in people with a penis. The main symptoms are the fact that the testicle has not descended and the presence of inguinal hernia. This was even the case with this patient, so that the doctors found a scrotum with a testicle along with the ovaries. In the end, despite the scare, this patient did well and had a simple recovery from the surgery.
Can you imagine this man's reaction when he found out he had ovaries? Such a case does not happen every day. So, if you found this unusual story curious, don't forget to share this article with friends and family!
