Bangkok-After having injected olive oil into his genitals, in order to enlarge the size of his penis, a 50-year-old man ended up undergoing the removal of his genitals, thus avoiding more serious complications that could have led to his death.<\/p>\n
This Thai man used the infiltration method to enlarge his penis; the substance caused a severe infection which led to the urgent procedure to remove his penis.<\/p>\n
According to a statement from Bangkok Hospital, “the largest genital surgery we have ever performed, and it was necessary given the condition of the tumour”.<\/p>\n
Despite the unfortunate consequences of this act, Thailand’s health ministry pointed out that this is a dangerous practice that is becoming more common every day in the Asian country.<\/p>\n
Medical staff at the large Bangkok Hospital said they hear on a daily basis of cases of men who inject olive oil, paraffin, silicone or beeswax to increase the size of the penis.<\/p>\n
One of the busiest hospitals in Bangkok reported that around 40 patients a month receive treatment to counteract the effects that occur after injecting substances to enlarge their member.<\/p>\n
This type of practice is carried out in clinics in Thailand, and the authorities have issued a statement to prevent men from continuing with this practice, which can be fatal.<\/p>\n
Cosmetic surgery in this country is often performed in illegal clinics and by unqualified people, at rock-bottom prices, which is why medical tourism to these Asian countries has increased.<\/p>\n
The consequences can be irreversible, which is why we always suggest consulting a recognised and experienced professional.
