A 66-year-old man named Gentil Ramírez Polanía was forced to get his penis amputated when he took too much Viagra and had an erection for a few days.
Polania said he took more than the recommended dosage in an attempt to impress his sexual partner, however, his plan went completely wrong.
“I took the medicine on Saturday at seven o’clock at night but by nine I was in so much pain I had to ask my neighbour to take me to hospital,” he said, The Mirror reports. “When I got there, they said there was nothing they could do so I went home, but it didn’t get any better. I suffered for a while but I couldn’t cope anymore and got a bus to a bigger hospital in Neiva. I had bruises all my genitals.”
The Colombian farmer was then told that in order to stop the grangrene that was forming from spreading to other parts of his body, his only option was amputation.
Dr. Antonio Correa told local newspaper La Nacion that Polania’s penis was inflamed and fractured, Nature World News reports.
Polania was operated on at Naiva hospital.
