Dazzling injury suffered by an Indonesian man, 43, who pushed a toothbrush into his penis, which burst during sex
- The unnamed 43-year-old waited 12 hours before seeking medical attention
- The man admitted to using the toothbrush for his own ‘sexual gratification’
A man suffered excruciating pain after a toothbrush he bizarrely inserted into his penis broke during sex.
Doctors revealed the 43-year-old waited 12 hours before seeking medical attention for his eye-opening injury.
Grilled about why he had a toothbrush in his penis, the unnamed Indonesian man confessed to performing DIY surgeries for his “sexual gratification.”
Doctors were told he had first made a ‘small incision’ to insert toothbrushes in 2017.
But it is unclear whether the toothbrush in question has been in place since then, or whether he has removed others.
The unnamed 43-year-old waited 12 hours before seeking medical attention. He admitted to doctors that he used the object for “sexual gratification” and that he had never had problems removing toothbrushes in the past. The doctors shared eye-opening details of the incident in a medical journal, telling how the man needed a two-hour operation to repair his broken penis.
Doctors from Soetomo General University Hospital in East Java recounted grisly details of the incident, telling how the man needed a two-hour operation to repair his broken penis.
In the International Journal of Surgery Case Reports, they wrote, “The patient suffered a penile injury during intercourse in the woman-on-top position the evening before.”
He had an ‘eggplant deformity’ – a telltale sign of a penile fracture.
Although the penis is not a bone, it can break if the appendage is exposed to sharp, blunt force. In many cases, a grim cracking or popping sound can be heard.
Afterwards, it usually resembles an ‘eggplant’, which becomes purple and swollen.
Doctors said soThe man was discharged three days after surgery and reported that there were no problems.
He returned for a follow-up appointment a month later, where he was able to urinate and claimed he had no complications.
The ‘deformity’ had also disappeared.
Penile fracture occurs immediately and requires urgent medical treatment. In many cases, a gritty, snapping sound can be heard.
In order for a man to have an erection, two spongy tubes, the corpora cavernosa, fill with blood and harden. These are surrounded by a fibrous lining known as tunica albuginea.
A fracture occurs when these areas tear.
Penile fractures often affect men between the ages of 30 and 50. But its actual frequency is still unknown.
Such injuries usually occur during vigorous sex, with positions such as ‘doggy’ and ‘cowgirl’ posing the greatest risk.
