A man ejaculated from his anus and passed out feces after developing a rare condition that affects around five in a million people.
According to foreign media, the 33-year-old man from Texas ignored the symptoms for two years before he decided to seek medical help because of pain in his testicles for five days.
He told doctors he had been passing a "significant amount" of semen and urine from his anus over the past two years.
He also complained of faecaluria – the presence of fecal matter in the urine.
Doctors discovered he had an abnormal connection between his prostate and rectum which was causing his sperm to come out of a "sudden orifice".
His condition was so unusual that they wrote about their findings in a paper called "A Curious Case of Rectal Effusion," which was published in the journal Cureus.
Doctors said the man's condition – a rectal-prostate fistula – is generally caused by surgery or inflammatory conditions such as Crohn's.
This is a very rare condition that affects about five in a million people a year.
Doctors said common symptoms include blood and feces in the urine, as well as urinary tract infections (UTIs).
But the team, from the University of Texas, noted that passing sperm in this way is 'rare'.
The man, who also suffered from a swelling of his left testicle, said he had not undergone any surgery or suffered rectal trauma.
