Free surgery

A CHILDREN’S hospital in Hangzhou carried out a surgery last week free of charge on a man who had both urinary meatus and orificium vaginae and was unable to have a normal sex life due to curved penis and inbed testis.

The 32-year-old man from Ningbo’s Xiangshan County in Zhejiang Province suffered from the defects since birth.

He discovered the problem three years ago when he was a dating a girl and could not have a sex life.

His girlfriend decided to accompany him to visit doctors and get their advice all over the province.

“This is very rare deformity. The operation is complicated and costs around 200,000 yuan,” a doctor surnamed Lin of Hangzhou Fudan Hospital said.

The surgery was successful, according to the hospital’s Weibo account.

The hospital plans to set up a foundation for children with hypospadias to assist more kids from poverty-stricken families.
