The little born Success Chisom Aniekwe who is said to in constant pain, especially when he urinates has reportedly been in and out of hospitals where series of tests and surguires have been recommended to help him.<\/p>\n

Mrs. Chekwube Aniekwe who recounted how she discovered her baby had both sex organs told Daily Sun that the scan she did, while pregnant, showed that the baby was a gir but she, however said her confusion started when the woman, who gave the baby its first bath said the sex organ was not pronounced.<\/p>\n

The confusion increased when the mother moved to circumcise the baby, as the family wanted to circumcise its female children.\u201cEight days of the baby\u2019s birth, we went for the circumcision, when the woman noticed that my baby had both male and female organs. When the woman wanted to cut her clitoris, she said the baby was not a girl. She advised us to go back to his hospital of birth,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n

The confused mother of three explained that she went back to the hospital, where the medical director examined the baby.<\/p>\n

She said: \u201cWhen the doctor looked at the baby\u2019s case, he quickly referred us to Lagos State University Teaching Hospital. When we got there, we were made to understand that we needed to do some tests before surgeries could be done to correct the anomaly. At the hospital, a pharmacist directed us to Isolo General Hospital. On getting to there, they said they could not handle the case.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Mrs. Aniekwe who said in a bid to get solution for their child, they visited the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, LUTH said: \u201cWhen we got LUTH, we were told surgeries were needed but would come only after some tests. We have not been able to do the tests because of lack of finance.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThe last time we went to LUTH was in December 2013. At that time, one of the specialists told us that there would likely be two surgeries. We were also asked to do a hormone test to know whether the baby has womb, to know if another surgery would be added.\u201d
<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWe made several attempts to raise money for the necessary tests but we could not and that is why we have not gone back to the hospital till now. Presently, we do not know what it would cost us to do the tests and the surgeries,\u201d<\/em> she stated.<\/p>\n

She stated saying. \u201cI am being embarrassed by the problem of the baby. Everywhere, I go, people get confused, as to whether the baby is a boy or girl. Initially, I used to dress the baby like girl. I also pierced the ears and put earrings. But as time passed, the baby\u2019s look changed to that of a boy. People tell me my baby resembles a boy.\u00a0 Within me, I know that there is a problem. It was when the face started changing to a boy that I started giving him a hair-cut and dressing him like a boy, even when the ears are pierced,\u201d <\/em>she stated.<\/p>\n

The baby\u2019s father, Emmanuel who is optimistic about the outcome of the surguries the doctors have recommended said: \u201cI will be very grateful if I could be assisted financially, so that the surgeries would be done. The baby is always in pains and too tender to be undergoing such. We have been blessed with a baby and, therefore, should be happy parents,\u201d <\/em>he stated.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
