Baby in Iraq first ever human documented with three penises – The Jerusalem Post

A baby in Iraq has made history: He is the first person to be documented as being born with threepenises.Also known as triphallia, the Kurdish baby from Duhok is the first human to have been documented as such, according to Dr. Shakir Saleem Jamali in a study on the find in the academic periodical the International Journal of Surgery Case Reports.

Having more than one penis isn't new. Someone with two penises is known to have a condition called diphallia. As the study noted, it occurs in around one in every 5-6 million live births. However, the three-month-old boy has three. Despite this, only one could be called the "true penis," since the others do not possess urethrae and cannot function normally.

The two supernumerary penises were surgically removed, with no adverse effects reported.

Diphallia was first formally reported in 1609, and cases continue to arise.
