What is it like for a man to have two tintins, and will he become a "chosen son"?
A boy from Brazil who had the opportunity to answer this question was a 2-year-old who made headlines with him for bringing two tintins with him.
But because it would affect normal life, the doctor decided after diagnosis and cut off his larger one.
Doctors at the Federal University of São Paulo in Brazil originally planned to remove the child's right penis for the simple reason that it was smaller.
But the child's mother said that although it was small, he could only use the small one to urinate.
On further examination, doctors found that the child's left penis was not functioning properly: although the overall volume was larger, the urethra on this side was too narrow to pass through.
If you cut off the small one, leaving the large one will not be able to urinate normally.
After all this, the team of doctors decided to leave him with the small one.
The operation went smoothly, the surgeon completely separated his excess tintin, and the boy did not even leave too conspicuous scars on his body.
Because of the rarity of the case, the details of the operation were published in relevant medical journals for professional reference.
But after reading the report, the most excited people are the non-professionals who are watching the melon:
When he reaches adolescence, when he hears this past, he will surely ask: What? You cut off the big one? ”
"When he grows up, he will feel very sad when he finds that the adults have taken a fierce rock python and left him a small sausage."
But the joke is a joke, if the situation of two tintin is not properly handled, it will also have a certain harm to the body itself.
In medicine, this two-die-tinting condition is known as Dipharlia – a bipendo penile deformity.
This is a very rare defect, and studies have shown that the probability of occurrence is about 1 in 5 million to 6 million. Although "bipenile deformity" is a medical term that was only published in 1997, the earliest recorded cases date back to 1609.
Having two tintins is not dangerous in itself.
Dangerously, this deformity is strongly associated with many other diseases that can cause medical problems.
People with bipendofold deformities often experience other birth defects, including digestive and urinary tract problems.
In most cases, two tintins are the same size and placed side by side.
(Probably like this, everyone makes up their own brains)
But in some cases, the smaller tintin will be placed on top of the larger tintin, attached to another branch like a branch.
(Probably like this, too, make up your own brain...) ）
Just this year, there were reports of two fully functional Tintin cases of Uzbek boys born.
The boy, from the capital Tashkent, lived in this situation for 7 years without any physical discomfort.
Unlike the Brazilian boy, both of his tintins can excrete urine, and the two tintins eventually converge and join together.
There are also more serious deformities: cases of having three tintins at the same time, of course, because the cases are more rare, so far there is very little available for medical research.
Since it is all about excision in the end, is there any better way to prevent it in advance?
Unfortunately, as a congenital genetic disease, this malformation itself is caused by uncontrollable genetic factors.
There is no single known factor that can cause baby boys to have the disease, and there are no feasible precautions that pregnant women can take. Fundamentally, doctors and scientists simply don't have enough cases to make definitive studies and statements about this.
In this way, having two tintins is actually a "chosen son" in the negative sense.
Among the people with similar symptoms, the most "famous" known at present should be the little brother who wrote the book, who anonymously accepted inquiries from netizens on the Internet, accepted media interviews, and wrote his experience into a book.
For fear of affecting real life, he never revealed his true identity.
In the interview he mentioned:
"If I go public and appear in front of the camera, from that moment on, I will be the 'one with two tintins' in people's eyes, and my identity will no longer be myself."
"My neighbors will know that there is the man next door who has two tintins, and my identity will be completely transformed into a strange story, a symbol... I can imagine being asked to show Tintin to people... In order not to become like this, I will never appear in public. ”
But his legend has been circulating on the Internet. As a rare person who has two tintins and lives to adulthood without resection, he receives a variety of strange problems.
There are not many questions that ask, "Can you open your bow left and right in the snow and write down your last and last name at the same time?" Of course, more (and probably the most concerned) is to ask him about sex.
Because the specific details are too explicit, we will not continue to discuss here...
In fact, not only do male genitalia have this aberration, but in women, genital malformation can also occur.
Kathyrn Cozens from the UK is in pain because she was born with an extra uterus than others, and every month when her menstruation comes, she will be so painful that she can't get out of bed, and even hurt to the point of unconsciousness.
In her case, it is called Uterus didelphys – a double uterine malformation in which the mullerian ducts on both sides of the embryonic development period develop normally but not fully fuse, each developing a double uterus with its own fallopian tubes attached to each other, each with its own function, depending on the circumstances, and possibly developing a double vagina.
About 0.1-0.5% of women in the United States have been reported to have a double uterus. Compared to the double penis deformity, the probability is obviously much greater.
(Different cases of deformity)
What's even more amazing is that a girl with a double uterus deformity once met the old brother Pingshui mentioned above with two Tintins on the Internet.
Good thing netizens coaxed in the post that these two people should be together, improve the direction of human evolution, and bring human genes to the next new level...
But given that deformities accompany diseases, it is clear that the more organs in the human body, the better.
Or let the joke, stay in the joke it...
