Man With Penis Longer Than His Knees Undergoes Successful Surgery

A Kenyan man, Horace Owiti Opiyo otherwise known as Forence, has undergone successful medical surgery to have his 3-foot-long penis reduced to normal size.

Prior to the surgery, Forence’s penis was said to be longer than his knees and could barely fit into his trousers properly.

His testicles were also said to have weighed 11 pounds, which caused him serious discomfort and forced him to drop out of school after discovering the condition in 2006.

But 20-year-old Forence finally got the opportunity to live a normal life again after receiving financial help from a governor’s wife in the country for the surgery.

According to Mirror UK, Forence’s condition caught the woman’s attention after a neighbor put his story on social media and it quickly went viral.

Speaking after the surgery, Forence said: “I told my grandmother that I have been infected by a disease, but I’m not sure what it is. It could be a curse. I knew this was not God’s work, but the devil’s.”

He was said to have unsuccessfully tried using herbal remedies to for the condition.

The report said Forence underwent two surgeries to reduce the size of his scrotum and rebuild the penis to normal size.

“When I got up, I was surprised that my body was so light. All the heaviness had gone … I’m swimming now. I couldn’t go anywhere near the water because of the heaviness of that thing,” Forence said after the surgery, adding “Now I can run and I can play football.”

On plans to start a family, Forence said “… Who knows what will happen in the future?” noting that his priority for now was to get education.

Meanwhile, the report said the young man’s earlier condition could result from a mosquito bite and injection of larvae into the bloodstream.

If developed into parasitic worms, they can block the body’s drainage system and cause swelling.
