UP Man Visited Hospital for Stomach Pain, A Surgery Surprised Everyone
One story from Uttar Pradesh’s Gorakhpur is talk of the town. In a medical twist that left everyone astonished, a man who visited the hospital for severe stomach pain, underwent surgery for a suspected hernia, only for doctors to discover something completely unexpected—female reproductive organs inside his body. The development has surprised everyone and the man has since recovered from the surgery and is in good health.
The man, 46-year-old Rajgir Mistri, is a father of two and had been experiencing stomach pain for several days. Concerned, he decided to get an ultrasound, which revealed that a piece of flesh in his lower abdomen was making contact with other internal organs, leading to the development of a hernia.
Seeking further diagnosis, Mistri attended a free hernia check-up camp, where Dr. Narendra Dev, a professor at BRD Medical College, confirmed the hernia through the ultrasound report. However, during the surgery, the medical team was taken aback when they found an underdeveloped uterus and an ovary in Mistri’s abdomen.
The unexpected discovery of these female reproductive organs, which had somehow remained undetected for 46 years, was diagnosed as a rare birth deformity. Despite the presence of these organs, Dr. Dev noted that Mistri displayed no external female characteristics.
This extraordinary case has left the medical community and the public alike in awe of the complexities and surprises the human body can hold.
In a related incident, in February 2023, doctors at Amrita Hospital in Faridabad performed minimally invasive robotic surgery on a man in his 30s who was diagnosed with Persistent Mullerian Duct Syndrome (PMDS), a rare condition where male patients also develop female reproductive organs.
The man, married for five years, sought medical help after he and his wife struggled to conceive. Tests revealed that he had undescended testes, a uterus, and fallopian tubes. PMDS occurs during fetal development when a hormonal deficiency prevents the typical formation of male reproductive organs. The condition, rarely diagnosed due to its internal nature, has been documented in only a few hundred cases worldwide. Dr. Manav Suryavanshi, head of uro-oncology and robotic surgery at the hospital, confirmed the diagnosis and led the successful surgery.
