66岁老汉香港就医才知自己是女人 手术后继续做男人

　　A Chinese man who went to the doctors with a swollen stomach was told that he is actually a woman。一名中国男子由于胃部肿胀前往医院，医生却告知他实际上是一名女性。

　　The 66-year-old, who even has a beard, had lived his entire life as a man but was told by doctors in Hong Kong that his enlarged abdomen was caused by an ovarian cyst。这名66岁的老人留着胡子，一辈子都以男性自居，可是如今却在香港被医生告知他肿胀的腹部是由卵巢囊肿导致的。

　　Tests revealed the patient suffered two rare genetic disorders that had gone undiagnosed。检查结果显示这位病人患有两种之前并未被诊断出的稀有遗传疾病。

　　They showed the patient had Turner Syndrome, a genetic condition that affects about one in 2,000 baby girls, and congenital adrenal hyperplasia, which increases male hormones。他们称这位病人患有特纳综合症，每2000个女婴中会有1人存在这种基因状况；同时，他还患有先天性肾上腺增生症，这会增强人的雄性激素。

　　The Hong Kong Medical Journal, which published the information yesterday, said only six cases of people with both disorders had ever been reported in medical literature。香港医学杂志昨日发布这条消息，称在医学文献中仅报道过6个同时患有这两种遗传病的案例。

　　Turner Syndrome usually results from a problem with the chromosomes and can leave women infertile and shorter than normal。特纳综合症通常由染色体的问题所导致，这种疾病会让女性无法生殖且身高比常人矮。

　　Women with the syndrome are missing one or part of their second X chromosome。患有特纳综合症的女性往往缺失一种或部分第二X染色体。

　　Congenital adrenal hyperplasia affects one in around 15,000 births and causes male characteristics to appear early or inappropriately。而先天性肾上腺增生症通常在每15000个婴儿中的一人身上发生，这种疾病将导致男性体征过早出现或不适当地出现。

　　The patient had grown up an orphan and stopped growing after puberty at the age of 10 and was just 4.5ft tall。这位病人是一名孤儿，青春期之后差不多十岁的时候就停止了生长，身高只有4.5英尺(1.37米)。

　　The patient also had no testes and a 'micro-penis', according to the report。据报道，他也没有睾丸，只有“迷你”的生殖器官。

　　Girls with the disorder have normal female reproductive organs but can suffer with fertility problems。患有这种疾病的女性会有正常的生殖器官，但会遭受生育问题。

　　Seven doctors, writing in the medical journal, said the Vietnam-born patient would continue to live as a man and may be treated with testosterone replacement。参与撰写医学杂志的7位医生称，这位出生在越南的病人将继续以男性的身份生活下去，且可能接受睾丸素补充治疗。

　　They said: 'Were it not due to the huge ovarian cyst, his intriguing medical condition might never have been exposed'。他们说：“如果不是因为这次卵巢囊肿，他有趣的身体状况永远不会被曝光。”
