Another hospitalized from penis augmentation Tuoi Tre  This cartoon shows a man suffering damage to his penis after he has liquid silicon injected into it in a hope to enlarge it. Tuoi Tre A 36-year-old man in Kien Giang southern province has suffered complications including necrosis of the penile skin after he himself injected non-medical liquid silicone into his penis to enlarge it. Dr. Truong Hoang Minh at Nhan Dan 115 hospital based in Minh added doctors at the hospital had to remove his affected penile skin tissues and later performed a surgery to regenerate it. T. told the doctors he decided to inject liquid silicone into his penis when a friend encouraged him to do so at a drinking party three months ago. During first days after the injection, T. saw his penis looking bigger and had normal erectile function but in the past three months, he went through a lot of pain every time he got an erection. Feeling a need to enlarge their penis to improve self-esteem or to satisfy and impress their partners, many VIetnamese men often use liquid silicone to increase their penile sizes but they are not aware of possible serious consequences of their work. Recently, a hospital in HCMC in only one week has received up to five patients who were suffering from complications of penile augmentation by the use of liquid silicone. These patients were suffering from edemas in their penises several months after the injections, leaving them unable to have sex, said Dr. Mai Ba Tien Dung, head of the Men’s Diseases Department at “A few of the men even saw their penises become deformed. They used silicone of unknown quality, and complications developed after about six months,” doctor Dung said. The doctor told Tuoi Tre that in previous years the hospital has treated only two-three such patients per year, but within the first half of this year, 10 men have already been hospitalized after injecting silicone into their penis. According to Dr. Dung, to treat these cases, doctors first remove the skin or tissue that is infected, and patients are then required to return three months later for penis regeneration. “But during that period, they will have difficulty urinating and cannot have sex,” he said.
