In a bizarre turn of events, doctors found female reproductive organs inside a man’s body in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh’s Gorakhpur. The man, a father of two, went to doctors for his hernia treatment when doctors found something strange inside his body.

The man named Rajgir Mistri, 46, was in severe pain and decided to go for a free hernia check-up camp where he consulted Dr Narendra Dev, a professor at BRD Medical College, as per an India Today report. 

During a surgery for Mistri’s hernia discovered a developed flesh inside his body, which was disrupting his internal organs. 

Upon detailed analysis, Dr Dev later scheduled Mistri for surgery to treat him. However, during the operation, it was discovered that the mass that caused the hernia was, in fact, an underdeveloped uterus. The doctors also found an ovary adjacent to it.

The doctor told the media outlet that Mistri doesn’t have any female-like features and the presence of female genitalia is a birth deformity in his body. The patient is healthy after the operation and recovering well.

In a similar case, last month, a 16-inch bottle gourd was discovered inside a 60-year-old farmer’s rectum in Madhya Pradesh. As per various reports, the gourd was located in the back after an X-ray, and the doctors said that the foreign object caused severe internal injuries.

A team of doctors successfully removed the vegetable after a two-hour-long operation.

“The night before last, a patient from the Khajuraho area arrived with abdominal pain. Around 3.30 am, he first went to the Mission Hospital, where the doctor refused to treat him. Subsequently, he came to the district hospital,” Dr Jatav told India Today.

“Upon examination, it was found that he had inserted a gourd into his rectum. He was admitted and operated on, during which the membrane ruptured. With the assistance of two other doctors, a gourd approximately one and a half feet long was removed,” he added.
