This poor man had an unbelievable ordeal, with a sudden and somewhat unexplained onset. The medical community decided on the name scrotal elephantiasis to explain his condition. His scrotum grew to a weight of over 132 lbs and hung down between his ankles,but strictly speaking it wasn't the same disease found in tropical locations and caused by parasites. His condition started when he accidentally struck his testicles while sleeping. The following morning his scrotum had swelled to the size of a soccer ball. The scrotum kept growing until he was unable to urinate normally or even wear pants. He eventually started wearing an oversize hooded sweatshirt upside down to support and cover his scrotum. The good news is earlier this year he underwent surgery,the surgeons donated their time to perform the surgery as his insurance couldn't decide if they covered the condition.
