Phnom Penh - Cambodian officials on Tuesday warned the public against home penis enlargement plans after a coroner found a man who had repeatedly self-injected his member with hair tonic had taken his own life to end the painful side effects.
Coroner Vieng Vannarith concluded that a 35-year-old construction worker had hanged himself last week after the hair tonic remedy which advertised it gave thicker and more lustrous locks failed to have the same effect when injected into his penis.
Authorities said the man had been self-injecting for some time, and the treatment had caused massive ulceration, leaving him in such permanent agony that he decided to end his ordeal by his own hand.
Although the case was a suicide, details were released to the newspapers, with authorities saying they were concerned that such dangerous self-treatment with home remedies was not an isolated case and this should serve as a warning to other Cambodians not to try this at home.
"He wanted a bigger one very badly, and the results were tragic," Vannarith said. - Sapa-DPA
Sarith's quote:
What is a stupid man? He probably believe anything what other people say. Education and scientific is very important to our daily life. In U.S., we have FDA (Federal Drug Administration). They approve what drug to sell in U.S.A. In Cambodia, we have corruption government who will approve anything to sell in Cambodian market.
