Man Born Without Manhood to Have One Grown On His Arm

A British man born without a penis is set to have one sculpted from his arm.

Security guard Andrew Wardle, 39, beat odds of 20 million to one when he was born with fully- functioning testicles but no manhood.

With his bladder outside of his body, he underwent surgery to have it moved into its correct position.
But he remained without a penis.

Now, almost four decades later, the Stalybridge, Greater Manchester, native looks set to go under the knife once more to receive his much-needed organ.

Doctors at University College London will try to fold a large flap of skin from his arm complete with its blood vessels and nerves into a tube to graft onto his pubic
area.

The complicated three-part operation the first time it’s ever been performed will then see Wardle fitted with a pump-operated implant so he can pass urine and have sex.

Wardle told The Sun he “never thought this day would come” and hoped it would it would allow him to “finally start living like a normal man”.

“Things like having sex and starting a family, something which so many people take for granted, could actually become a possibility,” Wardle told the newspaper.
Adopted at birth and then bullied at school for constantly being in and out of hospital, he managed to keep his condition a secret.

Wardle claims to have had sexual relations with more than 100 women, but his lack of a penis put them off,
he added, with one punching him in the face and another cheating on him.
He took LSD and ecstasy to cope, and two years ago tried to kill himself with an overdose of pills.
At his lowest ebb, his sister Michelle Bailey went to his childhood doctor who told her about the pioneering surgery and consulting UCL specialists.
Wardle was thrilled when surgeons said they would operate.
