Man Has His Penis Amputated After Deliberately Overdosing On Viagra ToImpress His Girlfriend

A man from southern Colombia had to have his penis
amputated after he allegedly overdosed on Viagra to
impress his girlfriend.
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.
He then is said to have suffered an erection for several days
before being forced to seek medical advice.
According to source, the penis-enhancing drug caused the
man, who is said to be a farmer and a former politician, to
develop signs of gangrene.
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.
They informed the patient his only option was amputation
so the inflammation and gangrene would stop spreading to
other parts of his body.
A doctor told local newspaper La Nacion: 'The patient
showed bruising on the testicles and penis, was treated and
is recovering well.'
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.
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.
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.
Once the wedding hall was cleared out, the unnamed man
left to join his wife at their new home.
When he arrived, he fainted and collapsed and died after
being taken to hospital despite doctors’ attempts to revive
him.
Viagra contains the ingredient sildenafil citrate, which works
by relaxing muscles in the walls of blood vessels.
However, the action that Viagra has on nerve activity of
muscles in the penis may also increase sympathetic nerve
activity (which makes blood vessels constrict).
There have been several reports of heart attack, heart
arrhythmia and even deaths that have been related to men
who were using Viagra.
Men with unstable cardiovascular disease, including a
history of heart attacks, are advised against using the drug.
