A personal trainer suffered a penis injury when he attempted to enlarge his manhood by lifting weights.
The 24-year-old man from India
ended up with his penis stuck in a metal plate weighing roughly 3kg.
The unnamed man's case is
detailed by medics in the journal Urology Case Reports.
The man believed he could grow
the muscles of his penis like every other muscle so he devised a dangerous
plan.
He inserted his penis into the
hole of the weight plate while it was flaccid before getting himself hard. Then
he attempted to lift the weight using his erect penis.
Urologists said he
"ignored" what was at first "mild" pain and swelling, and
continued the exercise in “excitement”.
However, things soon got
extremely painful.
The medics wrote: "After
some time, when the intensity of pain and swelling increased in the penis, he
tried to remove the weight plate but couldn't do so... He panicked and decided
to visit the doctor."
The personal trainer finally
went to the hospital two whole hours after first putting his penis in the hole.
He was accompanied by relatives as he went to the hospital.
His manhood was described as
being "incarcerated".
Painkilling gel, drugs and even
surgical efforts were deployed to reduce the swelling before medics eventually
managed to slide the plate off.
Penile incarceration, also
known as penile strangulation, occurs when the blood supply to the penis is
blocked by an object or body part.
