Sorence Owiti Opiyo’s testicles had swollen to 10 times their normal size, prompting some to refer to them as the world’s biggest testicles.
His bizarre condition has left doctors baffled. In an interview, he said it first emerged as a cyst when he was 10 years old.

Over time, the growth became so large that Sorence was unable to walk properly or wear normal clothes. He also dropped out of school and was forced to live as a recluse because of the teasing he faced.

In an interview, Sorence said: “This thing started very small, like a boil. Then it was the size of my fist. It just continued to grow bigger and bigger.”

A kind-hearted neighbour shared pictures of Sorence’s growth on Facebook and sent out an appeal for well-wishers to help him get surgery.
His surgeons now believe he would be able to live normally and have children at some point in the future.
Sorence thanked God, the surgeons at Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Teaching and Referral Hospital, and Our Lady of Mercy Ranguma, which sponsored him, for the successful surgery.
Dr James Obondi, the lead surgeon, said Sorence would heal in three months. Nurses taking care of him also praised his optimism and positive approach to life despite his challenges.
