A 50-year-old Thai man developed cancer in his genitals after he injected himself with olive oil to enlarge his pènìs.
He required emergency surgery to remove his genitals to stop cancer spreading. He had been injecting his pènìs with olive oil over a number of years and it had become infected which caused the cancer.
The unnamed man had injected his pènìs with olive oil in a bid to make it bigger. The procedure is quite common in Thailand, other substances also used include; bees wax, silicone or even paraffin. There have been reports from one Bangkok hospital that they see up to 40 patients a month suffering from side-effects of this treatment.
