TVC E.Imagine a one-year-old with fully developed sexual organs of a grown man.
Parents to a One year old boy in Delhi, India have revealed how their son suddenly started growing facial and body hair as well as adult sexual organs.
As if that is not shocking enough, he is also experiencing sexual urges.
The toddler’s parents noticed disturbing physical changes when he was six months old. Not only was he taller than other children his age, his genitals too had started growing abnormally.
According to his Mother’s statement to the Hindustan Times, she said: “We thought maybe he was just a big baby, so we did not take him to the doctor. But by the time he was one, it was apparent there was something wrong. My mother-in-law, who has taken care of several children in the family, also said that his growth seemed unnatural. That is when we took him to the doctor”
The consulting paediatric endocrinologist at Max Super Speciality Hospital treating the one year old, Dr Vaishakhi Rustagi said “His testosterone levels were exceptionally high, as high as that of a 25-year-old, because of which he had started experiencing physical changes. Since he was so young, he was not able to understand what was happening. He would experience sexual urges too” .
He went further to say the rare condition (precocious)is very traumatic for a child of his age and it happens once in 10 odd years. The baby can’t express his feelings or understand what is happening to him.
With this rare condition, the child’s parents are left confused as to what to do, and such children, if not treated become violent.They will also stop growing after a few years and remain about 3-4ft tall.
The baby is currently being injected to block the effects of the hormones on his body.
