Sorence Owiti Opiyo from Kisumu County has a very simple wish. The 20-year-old would like to have a wife and children one day, just like any other man.
But because of a rare disease, he can’t have his wish to come alive for now. This is because Sorence Owiti Opiyo suffers from a disease that the doctors have not yet named. This makes his manhood look ten times larger than normal. It is so rare that its case is probably the only one in Kenya.
In 2001, when Sorence Owiti Opiyo was only five years old, he was taken in by his grandmother after the death of his parents. Five years later, when he was ten, she knew something was wrong.
The young man from Kibigori developed a strange swelling disorder that looked like a boil. The orphan waited for the boil to go away over time, but continued to grow in size.
His grandmother then sought the doctor’s opinion and luckily the young man was treated for the condition with medical surgery which reduced the swelling slightly.
