Man Who Had 36KG Mass Removed From Scrotum Can Finally Have Sex Again

A man whose scrotum drastically swelled in size has had the 36kg pound mass removed – and can finally have sex again.

40-year-old Dan Maurer has been unable to have sex for seven years due to the dramatic swelling which is caused by a condition known as scrotal lymphedema.

He couldn't even walk properly due to the growth. 

After the 14-hour operation, Dan now has a new lease on life.

When his condition first appeared Mr Maurer, still in his 20s at this point, was told he simply needed to lose weight.

Despite loosing several pounds, the growth in his scrotum continued to swell in size.

Only after seeing someone else with the same problem on TV did his doctor realise he had a medical condition. 

Despite the success of the operation, complications arose while Mr Maurer was in recovery – his lungs were too weak to function and he had to be placed on a ventilator.

Luckily he was able to recover and now, a year on from the procedure, he has been able to reconnect with his wife and live a full life again.

Mr Maurer now hopes his story will help people facing other physical adversities when a documentary about his journey is aired on TLC.

‘If my story helps just one person it will have been worth it,’ he said.
