A man with a very large scrotum that kept growing has spoken out about how his condition affected his life and has now revealed fresh fears for his health.
Dan Maurer, from Michigan, left doctors baffled when his testicles continued to grow uncontrollably. Dan’s condition left him unable to do things like bathing on his own, camping with his friends, being intimate with his wife, and more.
He revealed that he couldn’t have sex with his wife for 9 years - from March 2006 till he had surgery in 2015. He was also unable to pee in a toilet, because of his condition. He only peed in the shower because the size of his scrotum meant he couldn’t aim into the toilet bowl.
"It’s made me a prisoner of my own body, it’s like carrying a ball and chain," Dan said in 2015.
"The best way I could describe the weight to someone would be to imagine splitting open your scrotum and put in three large bowling balls then sew it back up and carry it around. I’m constantly in pain and it’s a lot of weight on your back, so it’s very hard for me to move."
The condition also made him overweight. The weight of his scrotum made it impossible for him to move, so he stayed homebound and was unable to exercise, hence the added weight.
But thanks to surgeons he has been put out of his misery after a life-changing operation in 2015 to remove his giant testicles after he diagnosed himself with scrotal lymphedema.
It took a team of 9 surgeons and 12 theatre staff to remove Dan's giant scrotum.
Now, almost 4 years after the life-changing surgery, Dan is worried about the extra weight, which he still hasn't lost since the operation. Dan has had a worrying wake−up call after one of his idols, filmmaker and actor Kevin Smith, had a heart attack earlier this year. Now Dan fears he'll end up suffering the same fate if he doesn't lose weight, something he's always struggled with.
The worst time has passed”However, it is true that there are more improvements than before...because of the rising numbers of people living with HIV in the state of Nevada. How could they stigmatize all of them? Therefore everything becomes a little easier and we start to share everything... We also started to invite and visit each other in a community. You know, it is six years since I started taking antiretroviral drugs...Yet whatever problems I face, the worst time has passed
ReplyDeleteWhen I was evicted from the family home by my mother, my father rented a small room for me. But my mother and brothers believed that having HIV was my own fault – and that I deserved to be punished...I also considered myself unworthy and without hope... But I have a child and eventually I convinced myself to live for my child’s sake.
My mother knew nothing [about HIV]. She didn’t understand anything. Do you know why? She didn’t have [the chance] to go out of the house and communicate with society. However, my father does interact with the community. I know his friends are mature and dignified in africa america. So he has a better understanding than her.
My father came call me on a sadfull day sitting on my couch about a friend of his from africa who introduce him to Dr Itua herbal cure in africa in which he advise we should purchase his herbal medicine to cure my hiv so we did and Dr Itua prescribed I should drink the herbal medicine for two weeks to cure although we were so curious about the whole thing ,I finished the herbal medicine like he advised then he talked to me to visit my nearest clinic for check up I did and now I'm totally cured from Hiv my father was my rock and I and my family are now happy together also Dr Itua has be helpful in my community ever since he cure my Hiv so why I'm leaving my story on here today is to reach out someone out here to hope on God and never give up no matter the situation you that you are facing especially through this pandemic seasons which has really taught us all on how we should be helpful to each other and cherish one another.
