Sounds like a triple boner bummer to me.
triphallia, was only seen in a human for the very first time in 2020 in a newborn, and is thought to affect one in every 5 to 6 million live births.
diphallia, has been seen in around 100 human cases, and occurs once in every 5.5 million live births.
so these two conditions, one of which is supposed to be more rare, occur with the same frequency?
... but once his penis was dissected, the students discovered two other tiny duplicate penises hidden inside his scrotum.
This feels like a "lifetime of trauma" kind of discovery.
Why would doctors remove extra penises if they are visible? It's obviously a blessing from the Penis Man.
Put an extra penis in your pubis for the Dick man.
From what I understand, they can be easily malformed and potentially cancerous.
It can cause a lot of self-image issues, although I believe the final decision should be left up to the parents at least if not allowing the child to grow until they are 10 years old or so and then taking care of it.
Any smart heads that can tell me how fidning 2 cases of something gives enough of a clue that this might occur as often as 1 in 5-6 million live births?
Yeah, and if diphalia occurs at roughly the same rate (1 in 5.5 million), why is it 50x as common, and why, given the rate, wouldn't there be over a thousand people with the condition alive today?
Rest in peace you cocky bastard.

where he also stored a couple of lug nuts for the two spares.
