New York Man’s Unit Is Turning Into A Bone
A New York man’s unit is turning into a bone! Go ahead and and let all the boner jokes fly, it’s appropriate for this.
There’s being hard, and there’s being literally bone hard. It sounds like that’s what this guy is going through in this incredibly rare case study. It hurts to think about!
Is A New York Man’s Unit Turning Into A Bone?
We’ve talked about many strange things that have happened to people’s privates on Dave & Chuck The Freak. There was the guy who got his stuff stuck in a steel ring, a guy who got circumcised when he went in for a different procedure, and more. However, this could be one of the more unique stories we’ve heard.
According to Interesting Engineering, a 63-year-old man walked into a New York City hospital with what he thought would be a routine check-up on his hip pain after he suffered from a fall. However, what he learned was not what he was expecting. An X-Ray revealed that he was suffering from an exceedingly rare condition of penile ossification, per Interesting Engineering. What’s that mean? It means his penis was turning into an extra-skeletal bone. A bone!
It would be very weird to go in with hip pain and expecting that to be the center of attention when it unexpectedly turns to your penis? That would be horrifying! They found the man’s penis was building up a bone-like calcification. Interesting Engineering points out that calcium salts had accumulated in his soft tissue along his penile shaft. Oddly, he showed no other symptoms typical of this condition outside of the plaque-like formation inside his penile shaft. There was no discharge nor swelling which you’d typically find along with this condition.
It sounds serious and like something you’d want to address immediately, right? Not necessarily, I guess. According to Interesting Engineering, the man decided to leave the hospital without further examination and ignored the advice of doctors! So he was given no treatment for the condition. Does he think this is going to be good for his sex life or something? Maybe he doesn’t fully understand what’s happening. You’d think you’d want to address any issue with your genitals right away–especially if doctors say it’s a rare condition.
Looking for more? You can see the X-Ray pictures and hear more about this interesting case study from Interesting Engineering. I think if this happened to me I would definitely listen to doctors and seek further help. That’s just me, though!
