Thai man's penis removed after botched enlargement

BANGKOK, Nov 16, 2012 (AFP) - Health officials on Friday told Thai men size does not matter after a patient had to have his genitals removed following a botched attempt to enlarge his penis by injecting olive oil into the organ.

The risky and unproven method using the oil -- although bees wax, silicone and even paraffin are often also used -- is common in Thailand with one Bangkok hospital receiving about 40 patients a month concerned about side-effects.

The 50-year-old man, whose genitals were removed this week after he reported a severe infection, underwent several olive oil injections over a number of years, a spokeswoman for the Bangkok-based Police General Hospital told AFP.

He was diagnosed with cancer prompting the drastic surgery.

"This is the biggest (genital) surgery we have ever done as we found cancer", Sirikul Jiaranaikhajorn said, adding normally the two or three patients they treat each week suffer from infections only but there is no evidence that the procedure causes cancer.

The man had the injections done at a clinic and was accompanied by friends, she added, despite public warnings that such penis enlargement methods are highly risky.

"It only brings bad results -- people misunderstand (that it works)," the spokeswoman said, explaining men attempt the procedure after listening to friends.

"A woman will love a man not because of the size," she added.

"A woman will love a man not because of the size,"

No - but she might love him a bit more often

Seriously? Olive Oil???

The fact you need a fairly large needle (diameter wise) to inject such a thick substance brings tears to my eyes.

If you know how to use your equipment what is the problem. A good tradesman never blames his tools.

Perhaps his wife had previously 'discovered' a farang.

Maybe the guy was frequenting too many bar girls around soi 3 and felt he was waving a pen in the albert hall , .....i suspect his best option now is to be the receiver not the giver,.... and to look on the bright side, he saved money on the sex change opp, if he was able to use his 30b medical card hes got thaksin to thank for saving a few baht !

Was it First cold pressed olive oil ? that can make the difference ....and from which country ? the Spanish oil is lower quality than the Italian one ..

Come on guys, cut the poor bloke some sack.

Wouldn't this news item have been better as an 'extension' of the other thread?

I'll get my coat........

Have you seen Google ads is now offering do it yourself circumcision kits at the bottom of the page! How funny is that!

If you heat it to 160 degrees C it becomes a lot thinner But then you are into the realms of "But nurse I said to prick his boil"

I will take your word for it.

Not my trade.

Actually he should be mad at Thaksin under Abhist it was free.

Perhaps it was extra virgin olive oil!

Looks to me like they cut it all.

I am out of here way to many opportunities.

But I do agree with the girl in the article. makes no difference how big it is she will love him just as much.

But she forgot it could make quite a difference if his wallet was bigger.

He went from Just-in to Noth-in

50 years old and he starts to worry about the size of his hampton...... theres no fool like an old fool I guess.

ouch - jeezuz ... that hurts. What the h are people doing for vanity?

My condolences to the guy. I would not want to be in his position.

Poor guy, we cant all have 12 inches. Girls love big...... wallets.

Moral of the story. Be happy with what you've got. Enjoy the rest of your life.

Come on guys, cut the poor bloke some sack.

There is nothing left for us to cut.

"Someone say Olive Oyl ?"

Two points of note.

1) I can understand the need for the surgery as a result of the infection, but I don't recall any literature connecting any injection of a natural substance causing cancer,..and,

2) It might not be the size causing your partners to be unsatisfied. Perhaps if you gave some thought to pleasing your partner and didn't finish your "business" in 30 seconds or less, you would experience more desirable results. However, I doubt you can comprehend this . So, shoot away.

Also, being sober once in a while might help.
