Doctors tell man known as Ryalu he's a hermaphrodite after finding womb
A man gave Indian surgeons a shock after they discovered female sex organs during an operation to relieve his stomach pains.
=================================================
Practitioners initially diagnosed the man known only as Ryalu with a hernia, but discovered a developed set of female reproductive organs that included a uterus, ovaries and Fallopian tubes.
What had doctors baffled is that the father of two appeared healthy and reported that his external male genitals were in perfect working order.
Bizarre: Ryalu had complained of stomach pains, but it was a hysterectomy that solved the problem
'The external reproductive organs of the patient were masculine and he has no problems whatsoever with his sexuality,' explained Dr Pramod Kumar Shrivastava, a surgeon at the Chhindwara district hospital.
'He had functional male genitals and there was no formation of breasts in the patient. It's an embryological accident at the time of embryonic formation.
Dr Shrivastava also said that the 'surprising' discovery meant a hysterectomy, usually performed on women, had to be undertaken on the male patient.
'We have removed the organs through a hysterectomy and repaired the hernia,' he told the Daily Telegraph.
'Usually the contents of the Hernia Sac are abdomen organs like large intestines and small intestines but when we operated on the patient we were surprised to find female reproductive organs.
'The sac contained quite developed uterus, both the ovaries, Fallopian tubes, cervix and a tissue which is undeveloped but apparently looks like vaginal tissue.'
Medically a hermaphrodite is a plant, animal or human which has both sets of male and female reproductive organs. Some human hermaphrodites prefer their gender or sexuality to be identified as 'intersex' whilst others refrain from using the term all together
