GIGANTE, Colombia, Sept. 19 (UPI) -- A man from southern Colombia had to have his penis amputated after he allegedly overdosed on the erectile disfunction medication Viagra, officials said.
The 66-year-old man from Gigante, whose name has not been released, told a local newspaper that he intentionally overdosed on Viagra to impress his new girlfriend, Colombia Reports reported Wednesday.
However, the penis-enhancing drug caused the man, who said he was a former member of the Gigante municipal council, to experience a constant state of erection for several days, the report said. He then sought medical help.
Doctors in Gigante referred the man to a medical facility in Neiva, where doctors noted that the man's penis was inflamed, fractured and showed signs of gangrene, and opted to amputate to prevent the inflammation and gangrene from spreading to other parts of his body.
"The patient showed bruising on the testicles and penis, was treated and is recovering well," a doctor told local newspaper La Nacion.

Did they check to see if a tiny catfish was lodged in his urethra first? This is more scary than Insidious Chapter 2.
Did this story appear in The Onion or in The Currant?
All I can say is OUCH!!!!
Since the victim was Latino, I wondered if anybody said "Sana, Sana, Colita de Rana, Si No Sana Hoy, Sana Mañana" while rubbing his owie(his hurt dick)?
slick - Did you notice where the man was from? :)
I'm thinking that, despite what the doctors said, it wasn't the Viagra...
I wonder if first world doctors would have had th same diagnosis.
Yes, shadowcat, that was the first thing I noticed. :)
I was listening to a pharmacist talk about when she worked in the San Fernando Valley (aka Porn Valley) she received some high dose Viagra prescriptions like take 4 of the 100 mg tablets 1 hour before activity. These guys must have been hung like horses.
Shadow-Yup. Gigante! Maybe he was too much man.
He should have read the warning sheet. If you catch this early it can be treated with pseudoephedrine (the stuff they banned from cold medicines because it can be used to make meth).
Priapism is a fairly serious matter.
Now he can still really impress his new girlfriend if he has fat fingers
In the old days it was called a castration
Lol
Hope the lay was worth it...
