A 44-year-old married Zhejiang man went to the doctor after experiencing stomach aches and blood in his urine, only to discover he was on his period. Not only that, but he had a full set of female reproductive organs. Man-strual cramps
Chen knew something was wrong when he found himself constantly feeling fatigued and having a swollen face and legs. Even worse, he found blood in his urine. However, he never expected the CT scan to reveal that he had a uterus and ovaries.
Results from chromosome examination also showed that Chen had a pair of XX sex chromosomes, meaning that Chen was genetically a female.
Not only that, but a lump was found in his adrenal glands. Chen was suffering from Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia, a genetic disease that causes the adrenal glands to swell due to a decrease in stress hormone and an increase in male sex hormones. The bump was surgically removed.
The chief of the First People’s Hospital of Yongkang said that doctors did not think that Chen was a female at first. “He is wearing in men’s clothes with short hair so we didn’t think that he would be a female at the beginning,” he said (gotta love that professionalism). Though, after examination, they found Chen did not possess an Adam’s apple. His genitals were also different from other men’s too - the opposite in fact. Chen claimed that he had a sex life with his wife, but doctors doubted it.
These kind of medical cases are allegedly extremely rare. Doctors said that it was too late for Chen to seek for medical treatment, which was only effective for younger people.
Lots of good comments, but you win the thread right out of the gate.
Poor, um, guy.
Confucius say: Old man who discovers he is woman skirts truth long time.
Girl’s periods start in early teens plus or minus....so this guy/girl is 44 and he’s just now wondering what’s going on????
This makes NO sense.
A late bloomer perhaps =)
I hate it when that happens.
Dear wifey, I have good news for you. I’m not pregnant after all.
my first intersex lesson was deer hunting. Gutting a buck and my Dad showed me it had a set of ovaries.
Hater! Report to the re-education camp.
How does this person not know?
I also have bad news for you. Those myths about heterosexual sex turn out to be true.
This person lived as a man so long she truly forgot she was female?
Yeah, it happens to me all the time.
No pics for crying out loud!
She can make himself a sandwich now!
No more peeing outside I guess.
