Failed enhancement: Pattaya rescuers remove steel ring from man’s penis
A Pattaya rescue team was called into action to remove a stainless steel ring from a Thai man’s penis. The man had hoped the ring would boost his sexual performance but he ended up in hospital instead.
The 45 year old Thai man, whose identity remains undisclosed, visited a private hospital in Pattaya for treatment. His genital area was swollen and developed severe inflammation from the steel ring he was wearing.
The man confessed to the medical team that he placed a steel ring, with a diameter of 3 centimetres, around the base of his penis to combat long-lasting erectile dysfunction. He wore it for only two days before the injuries developed. The ring became tighter around his penis, causing the organ to swell.
To provide treatment, the ring had to be removed first. Consequently, the hospital sought the cooperation of the Sawang Borriboon Dhammastan Foundation to cut the ring off.
The rescuers revealed to Daily News that they used a metal cutting tool to remove the ring. The man reportedly struggled due to the pain, and the rescuers and nurses had to hold his body tightly to prevent injury from the cutting tool. It took them over 45 minutes to remove the ring.
Several men have been rescued from similar situations in the past. In June 2023, a hospital issued a warning to men after a patient attempted to enlarge his penis using a steel ring similar to the one worn by the Thai man. A skilled surgeon successfully removed the ring.
In March of the previous year, a rescue team in Bangkok removed 11 steel rings from the penis of a 30 year old Thai man. He reportedly wore the rings in an attempt to enlarge his penis and was later admitted to the hospital unconscious.
Another rescue team in Bangkok assisted a 65 year old Thai man in removing his penis from a plastic bottle in April of the previous year.
He revealed that he took Viagra tablets and tested their effect by inserting his penis into the bottle. The medicine worked, leaving his penis stuck in the narrow neck of the bottle.
