Kolkata, June 21:

Baffling medical experts, a 15-year-old boy in West Bengal has been experiencing bleeding akin to menstruation. Media reports yesterday said Tarak, who works as a domestic helper in Kalna town of Burdwan district, bleeds from his penis in the second week of every month.

During that time, he also suffers from nausea, stomach ache, mood swings and other symptoms of the menstrual cycle seen in women. “The boy has male organs but he has feminine attributes,” said physician Sudip Mondol who examined Tarak. “If tests of his blood samples prove the presence of ovum, this would be a rare medical case.
