In Colombia, a 60-year-old who had consumed several Viagra pills ended up in the emergency room. Victim of an infection, the man had to have his penis amputated.
A story that cuts you off! A Colombian eager to impress his latest conquest, would have ingested too large a dose of Viagra, a drug intended to treat erectile dysfunction. As a result, the man in question ended up with a painful erection, but above all persistent. The story unveiled by South American media, and relayed by the DailyMail, could make you smile if it had not ended in a dramatic way for the sixty-year-old.
This 66-year-old Colombian from Gigante, a town in southwestern Colombia, has indeed swallowed too many small blue pills. Seeing that his erection did not diminish several days after taking the drug, and, in excruciating pain, he decided to go to the emergency room of Neiva (Huila) hospital. Colombian doctors then diagnose an infection of the cavernous bodies of the penis, but also a fracture of the penis. A worrying diagnosis since these practitioners indicate to humans that the risk of gangrene is high.
And the hospital staff had no choice but to resort to amputation of the penis. Now the patient is better, and, according to the Colombian hospital where he was hospitalized, “he is recovering perfectly”.
But to prevent this unfortunate incident from happening again, the Neiva establishment has just launched a campaign aimed at men in the region. She recommends that they avoid taking high doses of Viagra. Because in overdose, sildenafil citrate puts the patient at risk. Last week, for example, a 25-year-old Yemeni man died after consuming five Viagra pills, while preparing to spend his wedding night!
