Kobena Ebo, a 37-year-old married man, suffered enlarged testicles after having sex with his ex-girlfriend in a bush in Gomoa Dawurampong in the Gomoa West district.

The young man narrated that he had traveled to the area to collect foodstuffs for his wife, who had recently given birth.

While in the bush, his ex-girlfriend came to search for firewood but sat down and opened her legs, not wearing underpants.

Kobena Ebo said he could not control his feelings and had unprotected sex with his ex-girlfriend.

He stated that after some days, he started experiencing burning sensations in his penis, which later developed into rashes.

Although he sought spiritual assistance from some prophets, his condition did not improve.

Dr. George Donkor, Chief Executive Officer of Nobel Trust Herbal Clinic, explained that the condition is not spiritual but a sexually transmitted infection requiring urgent surgery.

Speaking on Rainbow Radio 87.5FM's Nyankonton Mu Nsem, he stated that attributing the issue to supernatural forces could be a coincidence.

He explained that the condition is classified as giant scrotal elephantiasis, "a massive enlargement of the scrotum due to the thickening of tissue and accumulation of fluid."

"In women, it is known as giant genital elephantiasis, which affects both men and women and is usually caused by an acquired infection," he added.

Dr. Donkor advised that medical surgery, not herbal treatment, is required.

"He requires medical surgery, which could take four months to offer him the best treatment he deserves. It is deadly and can kill him. He should not waste time attributing it to spiritual forces. He requires immediate surgery by professional doctors," he said.

He added that with successful surgery, Kobena Ebo will regain his health, his penis will return to normal, and he will regain sexual performance.
