A businessman is preparing to have a hysterectomy after doctors discovered he was born with a womb.
The 37-year-old, from Lancashire, discovered he had a full set of female reproductive organs after undergoing scans for suspected bladder cancer.
The man, named only as Rob, has reportedly been advised by medical staff to have the organs surgically removed, even though it could trigger the menopause.
Doctors believe he has a rare condition called persistent Mullerian duct syndrome. This results in men developing external male genitalia and internal female reproductive organs.
