Surgeons discovered the ovaries and uterus of a 67-year-old man who had three children.
The story of the incident goes back to Kosovo when a man with pain went to the Maghban area.
Upon examining the patient, the doctors diagnosed an inguinal hernia and decided to operate on him.
The surprise was that the doctors found an ovary and a uterus in the man.
It turns out that the man suffers from persistent Mullerian duct syndrome. They are channels that form the reproductive organs of men and women during the process of intrauterine development.
Usually, the cause is a deficiency of anti-Müllerian hormone or receptor insensitivity to it.
It is noteworthy that there are about 200 known syndromes, and they may be more, and their studies began at the beginning of the twentieth century, and they are often discovered by chance, during the examination of some cases in which their owners suffer from infertility, according to what was reported by the “mir24” website.
Doctors advise that if such changes are detected, the patient should undergo genetic tests.
