A baby has been born with two working penises but no anus. It is a rare medical phenomenon known as diphallia.

However, one was 1cm bigger than the other. Only 100 cases of diphallia have even been recorded in medical literature

But they did not state if that meant this child was the world’s first-ever case of this defect, as their numbers would suggest. Doctors examining him spotted that he had no anal opening and two ‘well-formed phalluses’, one of which was 1.5cm, while the other was 2.5cm.Scans revealed that he had a single bladder attached to two urethras. This means he passed urine from both penises.

The boy was monitored for two days following surgery. He was then discharged and a follow-up appointment arranged.
