[DAILYMAIL.CO.UK] A man from southern Colombia had to have his penis amputated after he allegedly overdosed on Viagra to impress his girlfriend.Kids! Don't try this at home!
The 66-year-old man from Gigante, Colombia, whose name has not been released, told a local newspaper that he intentionally overdosed on the erectile dysfunction medicine.
"Yeah! I dunnit and I'm glad... Well, maybe not glad..."
He then is said to have suffered an erection for several days before being forced to seek medical advice.
"In the event of an erection lasting longer than four hours, seek professional help!"
According to news website Colombia Reports, the penis-enhancing drug caused the man, who is said to be a farmer and a former politician, to develop signs of gangrene.
"Uhhh... Honey? Your pee-pee smells... funny. No, that's wrong. It smells not funny."
When he sought medical help, doctors in Gigante referred the man to a medical facility in Neiva, where medical staff noted that the man's penis was inflamed and fractured.
"What do you think, Dr. Casey?"
"Looks inflamed to me, Dr. Kildare!"
"I'd call it scorched."
"Thank you, Dr. Moriarty. That's actually the word I was looking for."
They informed the patient his only option was amputation so the inflammation and gangrene would stop spreading to other parts of his body.
"Here's the deal: you lose your doinker, or you lose it all."
A doctor told local newspaper La Nacion: 'The patient showed bruising on the testicles and penis, was treated and is recovering well.'
At least as well as you can recover in that situation.
As a result of the incident, Neiva hospital issued a warning for men to not use penis enhancing drugs or erectile dysfunction medication without prescription from their doctors.
"It's all great fun until somebody loses a baloney!"
Earlier this week, a Yemeni man died of a Viagra overdose as he prepared to sleep with his bride on their first day as a married couple.
"Heh heh! Heh heh! Oboy! Oboy! I'm gonna get laid!"
The 25-year-old Yemeni man dosed up on five Viagra pills at one time which killed him, according to Yemini Arabic Language daily newspapwer Okaz Al Youm.
At 25? At 25, I needed Viagra like a canary needs overshoes.
Once the wedding hall was cleared out, the unnamed man left to join his wife at their new home.
"Heh heh! Heh heh! Oboy! Oboy!"
When he arrived, he fainted and collapsed and died after being taken to hospital despite doctors' attempts to revive him.
"Oboy! Oboy! Lemme see yer honkers!"
[Flash!]
[GASP!... WHEEZE!... COLLAPSE!] "Rosebud!"
Viagra contains the ingredient sildenafil citrate, which works by relaxing muscles in the walls of blood vessels. However,
a person who gets all wrapped up in himself makes a mighty small package...
the action that Viagra has on nerve activity of muscles in the penis may also increase sympathetic nerve activity (which makes blood vessels constrict).
