Not to make light of this poor dude’s pain but this is scarily close to the episode of South Park when Randy Marsh microwaved his balls and they got huge…
Except unlike Randy over there, Dan Maurer didn’t ask for his struggle with his enlarged scrotum, though, and it’s actually pretty sad!
Maurer, 40, has suffered for seven years with his scrotum growing nonstop, so much so it restricts every aspect of his life.
Pants other than sweats, showering without help, and even using the toilet are among the simpler things Maurer had to give up once his scrotum grew to be over 80 pounds!
Maurer’s wife, Mindy, takes “in sickness and in health” beyond what anyone could imagine as she takes care of him. Not only does she help bathe him but she also helps him wrap the scrotum in bandage wrap in their last-ditch effort to keep it from growing.
Luckily, Maurer was able to get in for surgery to get the enlarged scrotum removed and doctors say it was a success!
After a 16-hour surgery, 80 pounds of scrotum and about 20 pounds of skin removed, Dan will be able to start his life again, just once he retrains his legs to walk after doctors nicked a nerve.
All in all, though, wouldn’t you rather have to relearn to walk without a giant ball sack weighing you down?
Anyways, all the best to Dan and Mindy! Hope the rest of your life is a real ball!
