Hazel Jones is a woman who spent a lot of time during her teens wondering why she had such cramps and such a strong menstrual flow. Only at 18 did she understand the problem: Jones had two vaginas!

Carrier of a rare condition, she has two uteri, two cervices and, consequently, two vaginas. She only went to the doctor after her boyfriend said she had a non-standard vagina. After discovering the condition, Jones states that the only problem was losing his virginity twice.

2 - The boy who was born with extra legs and arms

This Indian was born with a pair of malformed legs and arms attached to his chest - the so-called “parasitic twin”. Deepak Paswan, who is now seven years old, was considered a god in his community and in several other regions of India.

The boy was visited by several devout Hindus of the god Vishnu, who was always described as having various arms and legs. The boy's family, bothered by the constant visits, asked for help to fund the surgery that would remove the parasitic limbs from his body. The procedure was performed free of charge in a Bangalore city hospital.

This type of surgery would cost £ 50, 000, almost £ 200, 000. Fortunately, in addition to not having to pay for the procedure, the operation was a success.

3 - The two-faced baby

Soon after giving birth, young Yi Xilian wanted to see her son, but the baby was taken out of the delivery room and only returned when she and her husband, already very nervous, asked for explanations about the delay in holding Kangkang in his arms.

When the newborn entered the room and his parents picked him up, fright and terror were inevitable: the baby had a malformation on its face, making it appear to have two faces or a kind of mask.

It is not yet known what causes this type of condition, but restorative surgery is quite expensive and can reach $ 100, 000 - more than $ 237, 000. The baby's family is raising money, and soon Kangkang's situation, which is only 1 year and 2 months old, will improve.

4 - The case of the man with two penises

It all started when an anonymous reddit user decided to talk about the routine of a man with two penises. Users began to fill it with questions and some very bizarre curiosities surfaced: both members are functional and stand erect; He is bisexual and has a boyfriend and a girlfriend, one for each penis.

If this is all true, it is a little difficult to know, but it is possible that a man may be born with his duplicate sexual organ. This condition is called difalia, it is estimated that there are 100 cases like this worldwide, and you can check more details of this case in another article that we post here in Mega Curious through this link.

George Lippert was a German born with three legs and, on the day of his autopsy, two hearts were discovered. According to him, all legs were functional, but the extra ceased to be after a fracture. In fact, the foot of the third leg had six toes, that is: there were 16 toes on its three feet.

Lippert even worked on some screenings, but was reputed to not be an easy going person. He died in 1906 at the age of 62. Another person known to have three legs was Francesco Lentini (pictured right), who was more successful than Lippert, got married, had three children and died in 1966 at the age of 78.

Francesco, an Italian who lived in Sicily, was actually born with four legs, but the fourth was so underdeveloped that he considered himself a “only” three-legged man, his third being fully functional - and he was 16 toes! Instead of two hearts, as in Lippert's case, Lentini had two genitals - both functional as well.
