A 41-year-old man was rushed to Udon Thani Hospital on 21 July after a brass ring became tightly trapped at the base of his penis, causing swelling and inflammation.

Rescue volunteers took the man, identified as Supachai, to the emergency department at Udon Thani Hospital after a local charity foundation was unable to remove the ring because it had no staff or equipment available.

The Rom Pho Thong radio centre at Udon Thani City Police Station was notified at about 5pm by officials from the Udon Thani Thammasat Foundation. They said the injured man had walked in seeking help to cut off the ring.

Ring caused severe swelling

Volunteers from the Udon Sawang Metta Tham Foundation found a brass ring, estimated at size 60-62, tightly constricting the base of Supachai's penis.

The obstruction had caused significant swelling at the tip of the penis, with responders concerned that restricted blood flow could lead to further injury or infection. He was promptly transferred to Udon Thani Hospital for the ring to be removed and for treatment.

Supachai said he was homeless and slept at Bus Terminal 1 in Udon Thani municipality. He initially said a friend had put the ring on him while he was asleep as a prank, and that he was unable to remove it when pain and swelling began.

However, Panya Khuna, 28, an official at the Udon Thani Thammasat Foundation, gave a different account of what Supachai had told him.

Panya said the man arrived holding his groin and asking for help because of pain. After Supachai showed him the injury, Panya saw the brass ring tightly fitted around the base of the penis.

Conflicting accounts of how it happened

According to Panya, Supachai said he had put the ring on himself, apparently while his penis was flaccid. The ring then became too tight as swelling developed, preventing its removal.

The incident is a reminder that rings or other constricting objects placed around genitalia can quickly become a medical emergency. Restricted circulation can cause swelling and tissue damage, and attempting to remove a trapped item at home may worsen an injury.

I now use rubber rings due to several near misses over the years.

Wonderful. Kinky practice ends in FAFO (if it got that far before the pain set in). I doubt he let a male friend put it on him. If it was a female friend, the swelling would have been as desired.

Does your bf put them on?

“A friend put it on while he was sleeping” … yeah, and my dog ate my homework. The mystery of the magic brass ring continues.

Forget Lord of the Rings… this is the story of “The Ring of Udon”. One man, one brass ring, and one very expensive trip to the hospital. 😂💍

More ambition than common sense.

Nope, I use the correct tool to expand and fit.

Ashamed to say similar happened to me. I even took a picture of the ring that ended up being too small for the circumference of my man rocket. :) 😁

I think a lot of men who have high self-esteem simply don't feel the need to embellish themselves with a lot of jewelry. And if you're going to wear jewelry there's one place that it should not be worn under any circumstances!

Common sense must prevail!

Neoprene. You'll thank me for it.

My Prince Albert says otherwise.

This will teach him to never "reach for the brass ring".

Yet, he did, in a way, achieve his ultimate success of fame, no matter how transitory.

That's 19mm diameter! How did he get it on there in the first place?

You'd think he has better things to do than playing around with a brass ring.

There is an interesting post about penis pumps and rings in the "Health Forum" here. It describes the device and dangers. Worth to read

Beware of anyone saying they'll give you a ring.

Noticed the smile of the female rescue volunteer on the far left of the photo. Obviously the humor of the situation did not go amiss on the participants involved in this life and death situation.

Superchai should just give up , he be 41 and can't get a hard on.

Idiot!

'Ring me later'.... when I was young and randy back in 82 at night market in CM I saw some jade rings I thought might be fit for purpose (they actually do have a function other than adornment). Ah, but what size? No 'try before you buy' option. So got a cheap one, took back to room... a tad small... wound up getting goldilocks size.... not too big, not too small.

Advantage of jade is that you could break in case of emergency, unlike brass. Plus being thicker gives more stim to partner. I can say no more.

Yeah yeah yeah- and next you will tell us the rubber rings you use are the same rubber rings your kids use to learn to swim!

Very simliar, but designed for the larger girth rings suited to human todgers.

My children used flotation devices when learning to swim, not sure a rubber ring would have been of any assistance.

Would you want to be the one using the hammer or pliers?

This seems to be happening a lot in Thailand

What's with these guys or bell ends 😱 using rings where they should not be used

No doubt will hear of more of this in the future

Maybe they should form a club members only

What a cock up !! Is the lady, on the left in the first photo, smiling ?
