According to the doctors, this has happened for the first in the whole world that a newborn kid has three penises. In the medicinal term, this abnormality is known as trifalia. 

Dr Shakir Jabali shared about this abnormality with the International Journal of Surgery. The doctor said when the parents of the newborn saw little-skin like things under his testicles after three months of his birth, they took him to the hospital.

After many tests, the doctors declared those two tiny pair of skins are two penises. One was 2 cm, and the other was 1 cm in size. Doctors removed the extra part via surgery with the permission of the baby's parents.

A child with two penises known as diphallia was seen in Sweden in 1809 for the first time; since then, alot of has been observed. But this is the first time a kid is seen with three penises. The surgery was needed because it could affect further health abnormalities for the child.
