A man with 10st testicles is unhappy after
the removal which left him with a tiny penis. After a 13-hour procedure to
remove his swollen scrotum which grew so huge he had to wear a hoodie top as
trousers to support the load Wesley Warren is sad about the result.

| Wesley Warren Jr's operation to remove his ten-stone testicles has left him hopeful that he will find love one day |
His penis was buried
so deeply within his groin that he had to urinate on himself instead of going
to the toilet normally and could not enjoy a fulfilling sex life.
Now, Mr Warren, from
Las Vegas, says a romantic relationship could help him be happy again.
'I cannot express how
ecstatic I’m feeling about the future,' he told the Sunday Mirror.
'And if some way
somehow or another I can stumble upon love – any kind of love – I think I will
finally be happy.
'I’m very thankful
that I’ve been given my life back.'
Mr Warren could only
sit down with a milk crate between his legs after his scrotum swelled up, and
said he missed simple everyday activities, such as going to the supermarket and
post office.
He had accidentally
squashed his testicles getting out of bed, but antibiotics failed to make them
return to their normal size.
Doctors diagnosed him
with scrotal lymphoedema, a severe build-up of fluid.
The extremely rare
condition is much more common in Africa and south-east Asia, where it is caused
by parasites, than it is in the western world.
Mr Warren was so
desperate to escape the 'freak show' his life became that he considered
auctioning his enormous testicle sac on eBay to raised hundreds of thousands of
dollars for complicated surgery.
He raised about $2,000
in donations after appearing on U.S. television, but social security officials
stepped in and stopped his benefits.
The testicles were
getting heavier by the day and Mr Warren's health was deteriorating and he
feared he could die on the operating table.
Then Californian
consultant Dr Joel Gelman offered to perform the procedure free of charge as long
as Nevada's Medicaid system covered the cost of using a hospital theatre.
He boasted that he had
never lost a patient or testicle in similar operations.
'There are a lot of
shows about makeovers, but this is a real makeover,' said Dr Gelman, the head of
the Center for Reconstructive Urology at the University of California.
'He's basically a new
man.'
The operation, which
saw 132.5lb of tissue cut away from Mr Warren's groin, was filmed for Channel
4's Bodyshock series and will be shown in Britain tomorrow night.
