Chandigarh, April 28

In a rare medical case in Pakistan, a baby boy was born with two working penises, but no anus.

Doctors in their paper, published in International Journal of Surgery Case Reports, sais the baby appeared to have been born with a case of diphallia, a condition that affects one in six million babies.

Often babies have surgery to remove one but this time, surgeons left both phalluses intact and it is unclear as to why they did so.

The boy was also able to pass urine “from both orifices” with one penis 1cm bigger than the other, reports the mirror.co.uk.

A colonoscopy was also conducted by the surgeons on the Pakistani baby to pass stool as he was born without an anus.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
