After more than 30 years of identifying as a man, Chen Li underwent surgery to have his female reproductive organs removed.
A 33-year-old man in China who sought treatment for a recurring urinary problem was shocked to find out that he was biologically a female.
According to South China Morning Post, Chen Li, whose name has been changed to protect his identity, had undergone surgery during puberty to correct his irregular urination. Since then, for more than 20 years, he has been experiencing recurrent blood in his urine. When he experienced abdominal discomfort that lasted for more than four days, a doctor diagnosed him with appendicitis. However, even after treatment, the symptoms continued.
It was only last year after a check-up that Mr Li's condition was discovered. As per the outlet, the doctors found that Mr Li's abdominal pain and blood in his urine were actually caused by menstruation. They revealed that the 33-year-old had female sex chromosomes.
