The Story
"I had olive oil injected into my penis 19 years ago. A friend had done it and told us about it. That friend did injections for me and two others at home," said the patient, who sought treatment for cancer at the Police General Hospital.
Another Story??
Three years after the injection, the tip of his penis showed signs of infection. He decided to get circumcised, which seemed to cure the problem. However, the infection recurred recently. He was diagnosed with cancer.
He was injected with olive oil - No word yet on whether the olive oil was virgin or extra virgin. The man’s genitals were working "just fine" until about six months ago. He suffered a cut to his penis and without proper treatment the wound became infected.
He was ashamed to visit a doctor, but the pain and the infection grew so he had no choice.
He was admitted to a private hospital, where doctors found out that cancer has spread in the region. They suggested he move to a government hospital to save on the cost of treatment.
Doctors had no choice but to remove his penis, but the cancer spread towards his abdomen and his testicles.
Doctors have been able to bypass his urethra to his anus, allowing him to control his urine. This means squat.
What does Doctor have to say?
He said injecting olive oil into a penis cannot enlarge its size. The olive oil, which cannot be absorbed into the body, causes irritation and the body reacts by building connective tissue which can turn malignant.
Doctors are seeing a trend of Thai men injecting olive oil into their penises. About 30 or 40 patients turn up at the hospital every month because of the injections.
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.
Pol Lt Gen Jongjate Aojanepong, surgeon-general of the Police General Hospital, said it is a myth that penis injections increase organ size.
"There is no medical procedure to increase the size and make it work properly without causing harm. Normally, the procedure is used for erectile dysfunction," he said.
Words from Urologist
Dr Surat Kittisupaporn, a urologist, said the substances used for penis injections include olive oil and silicone.
"Olive oil is the most popular because it is cheap and widely available," he said.
"But if it turns out to be cancer, it has to be removed," he said.
What about Health Officials
HEALTH officials have told Thai men size does not matter
What about Women??
Hehe...
