Chinese man shocked to learn he has ovaries and has been menstruating for 20 years

A Chinese man who sought treatment for a recurring urinary problem was shocked to find out that he had ovaries and had been menstruating for 20 years.

**SNIP**

Chen’s symptoms reportedly started soon after having corrective surgery for his irregular urination during puberty. He continued to experience symptoms for the past 20 years.

Despite being treated for appendicitis, Chen’s symptoms persisted. It was not until last year that doctors finally found the cause of his symptoms: Chen reportedly had female sex chromosomes.

After traveling some 930 miles from Sichuan province to Guangzhou to visit a hospital that treats genitalia issues, Chen discovered through medical examination that he also had female reproductive organs, such as a uterus and ovaries.

Further medical examination also revealed that his male hormone androgen had below-average levels. Chen’s female hormones and ovaries were also active and reportedly comparable to that of a healthy adult woman. After the revelation, the man was identified as intersex, meaning he had male and female reproductive organs.

Chen underwent surgery on June 6 after he became distressed by the news. He was released 10 days later, and Luo Xiping, the surgeon who performed the procedure, told Chinese media that Chen “was quickly at ease and his confidence was restored.”

“From this point on, he can live his life as a man, but he cannot reproduce because his testicles cannot produce sperm,” Luo said, adding that the condition is often discovered during puberty and has little impact on a patient’s physical health. Luo also noted that going through it all usually results in psychological trauma.

Sad for him, but over 99.9999% of men still can’t ever have babies, or have female parts “naturally”. People,are born with three arms sometimes, but thst doesn’t mean we should change c,othing production lines so that they are required to only make 3 armed sweaters from here on out. But He left woild,demand we do,so if they though it would destro the nation further.

Good that he cannot reproduce.

The left uses rare examples like this to “prove” it is okay to indoctrinate children into becoming trans and then do the hormone treatments and surgery on the children without the parents’ consent.

Wasn’t he already living his life as a man with a strange health issue? This knowledge changed nothing, although the publicity may make his life worse.

So this guy/gal is likely the result of twins being merged into one person. There is a term for this condition. Maybe as rare as Siamese twins. Oh no!! Was that insensitive of me?

Yup, very true. Their hearts are darkened by sin and goven over to immorality for sure- parents need to come to understand this and pull their kids out of public schools if possible. They aren’t getting a good education there anyways, so if they can, they should get them out o spare their kids the trauma of indoctrination

True intersex humans have existed at an extremely low percentage of the population forever. Sometimes, rarely, the genetic mechanism screws up and produces both male and female parts.

Keyword: "screws up". I.e. Not normal, not right.

Unfortunate for the individual, yes, and certainly not something to base general social policy on.

See comment #10. "Intersex". I don't think it's a merge of twins; it's a genetic mistake.

Yep. Then you have the mythical 10-year-old rape victims that the mean conservatives want to deny abortions to.

If he has XX chromosomes, he is technically a woman. She just happens to have a male appendage.

What happened to "If it has a penis, it's a man?"

This is that one case in millions where people can disagree.

She’d have to be one heck of a mosaic to be walking around with two different kinds of gonads.
Call me skeptical.

Ok, if you’re into sci fi, maybe the polar body of an ovum was hanging around too long and we’re talking parthenogenesis material.
