It’s a boy. And what a boy!
An Iraqi child — a Kurd from Duhok — is making history after he was born with three penises.

His parents brought him to the hospital when he was three months old due to swelling in the scrotum. But when doctors examined him, he had something extra — namely a two-centimetre member sprouting near the root of his primary penis, according to the New York Post, and another one-centimetre-long nub under his sack.
“To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case with three penises or triphallia,” wrote Dr. Shakir Saleem Jabali in a study published in the International Journal of Surgery Case Reports.

The trio of penises is mysterious, given the child hadn’t been exposed to drugs while in the womb and didn’t have a family history of genetic aberrations, study authors reported.
Doctors have linked the phalliac deformity to other congenital aberrations, such as being born with two scrotums or anuses, according to World Health Organization research.
Two of the baby’s extra penises didn’t have urethras and doctors opted to surgically remove them.
A year later, the toddler was found to be doing A-Okay.
Diphallia — or sporting a pair of penises — was first reported in 1609. It affects one in every five to six million baby boys, with around 100 recorded cases “reported in literature,” some of which can reportedly ejaculate and urinate, according to the new study.
The Post reported one anonymous soul — dubbed “Double Dick Dude” — went viral in 2015 after he “boasted dual, 10-inch-long functioning penises.”
