British Man Lived to Old Age With 3 Penises: Medical Students Stumble Upon Shocking Discovery of Triphallia, Here’s What You Should Know About the Rare Condition of Triple Penis
An extremely rare case of a man with three penises has come to light. It is only the second documented case of this unique anatomical anomaly. A British man who died at the age of 78 was most likely unaware that he had this condition during his lifetime. After donating his body to science, researchers from the University of Birmingham in the UK stumbled upon the shocking discovery during a post-mortem examination. The researchers and students found two additional penile shafts near the man’s main sex organ, hidden beneath the skin. From the outside, the man appeared to have normal genitals; however, they discovered the unusual variation in his anatomy only after conducting a post-mortem. This condition is known as triphallia.

Only one case of Triphallia has been reported prior to this case. In 2020, Iraqi researchers found a unique case of a 3-month-old male child. The child had two additional penises. Both of the external appendages were removed through surgery.

What Is Triphallia?
Triphallia, or the presence of three penises, is an extremely rare congenital birth defect. Until recently, it had never been reported in humans. In fact, the duplication of penises is so rare that it is estimated to affect only about 1 in 5 to 6 million people. While cases of diphallia, or the duplication of penises, have been documented before, the man’s case is the first reported instance of triphallia in an adult, with the child’s case in 2020 being the first one.

Triphallia is exceptionally rare and how it appears in a person can vary. In the case of the British man, his condition was only discovered after a post-mortem examination, as his external appearance was normal. This case highlights the importance of medical examinations, even though there may be no signs of any abnormality on the outside. Further research will be needed to better understand the causes and potential treatments for triphallia.
