Hard to believe

A baby born in Iraq was a little different. He had three penises or triphallia, or so it was reported in the International Journal of Surgery Case Reports. One of the 'extras' (2 centimeters long) was located near the root of his primary penis, the other (1 centimeter long) was situated under his sack.

The three didn't last long. Since Three Willy’s additional phalluses didn’t have urethras — the tube that urine passes through — doctors decided to surgically remove those two. The operation went fine.

First reported in 1609, the condition diphallia — or sporting a pair of penises — reportedly affects one in every 5 million to 6 million baby boys, with around 100 recorded cases “reported in literature,” according to the new study. 

Doctors have yet to pinpoint the cause of the phallic deformity, but they have linked it to other congenital aberrations such as being born with two scrotums or anuses, according to World Health Organization research.
