Shocking claims from a Malawian man has left his community and medical authorities stunned, he says he has developed FEMALE genitalia and even MENSTRUATES.

“Two years ago I developed strange human flesh on my anus and my wife confirmed to me that they were female genitals but they disappeared,” 25-year-old Jali Mateyu told Malawi’s The Nation. “But in June this year they reappeared just between the anus and the genitals. My member shrunk and later disappeared. There were only female genitals.”

He added that the female genitals itch, secrete fluid when scratched and even flow blood. “My wife confirmed that they are close to women’s menses,” Jali says.

Distraught, he turned to a local herbalist who cut off the female flesh and applied herbs. “Now male genitals have resurfaced but they are too weak; I can’t perform in bed,” he says.

Since developing the condition, he hasn’t been able to do manual work or run his grocery–which has been closed.
