- The unnamed 43-year-old waited 12 hours before seeking medical attention
- The man confessed to using the toothbrush for his own ‘sexual satisfaction’
A man was left in excruciating pain after a toothbrush he bizarrely shoved into his penis snapped during sex.
Doctors revealed the 43-year-old waited 12 hours before seeking medical attention for his eye-watering injury.
Grilled about why he had a toothbrush in his penis, the unnamed Indonesian man confessed to performing DIY surgery for his ‘sexual satisfaction’.
Medics were told he first made a ‘small incision’ to insert toothbrushes in 2017.
But it is unclear whether the toothbrush in question had been in place since that time, or whether he had taken others out.
The unnamed 43-year-old waited 12 hours before seeking medical attention. He confessed to medics he used the object for ‘sexual satisfaction’ purposes and had never had any issues removing toothbrushes in the past. Sharing eye-watering details of the incident in a medical journal, doctors told how the man required a two hour operation to repair his fractured penis
Sharing grisly details of the incident, doctors from the Soetomo General Academic Hospital in East Java told how the man required a two-hour op to repair his fractured penis.
They wrote in the International Journal of Surgery Case Reports: ‘The patient sustained a penile injury during sexual intercourse in the woman-on-top position the night before.’
He had an ‘eggplant deformity’ — a tell-tale sign of penile fracture.
Although the penis is not a bone, it can fracture when the appendage is subject to sharp, blunt force. In many cases a grim cracking or popping sound is heard.
Afterwards, it usually resembles an ‘aubergine’, turning purple and swollen.
Medics said the man was discharged three days after surgery, reporting no issues.
He returned for a follow-up appointment one month later, where he was able to pass urine and claimed not to have any complications.
The ‘deformity’ had also vanished.
A penis fracture happens instantaneously and requires urgent medical treatment. In many cases, a grim snapping sound can be heard.
For a man to get an erection, two spongy tubes called the corpora cavernosa fill up with blood and harden. These are surrounding by a fibrous lining, known as tunica albuginea.
A fracture occurs when these areas rupture.
Penis fractures often affect men between the ages of 30 and 50. But their true frequency is still unknown.
Such injuries typically happen during vigorous sex, with positions like ‘doggy’ and ‘cowgirl’ known to present the biggest risk.
