Medical world in shock! Doctors cut off man’s genitals after drinking too much alcohol

The 65-year-old patient, who has uncontrolled type 2 diabetes and prostate enlargement, was hospitalized due to “excessive alcohol consumption.” After examinations revealed that the man’s genitals were gangrenous, a “total genital necrosis” was performed.

THE DANGEROUS MIX OF EXCESSIVE ALCOHOL AND DIABETES

Although the patient’s health condition was determined to be stable by tests, a serious enlargement of his prostate and numerous abscesses were detected. As a result of the rapid progression of gangrene, doctors decided to completely remove the genitals. This rare condition was endangering the man’s life.

SURGICAL SURGERY REQUIRED

Despite the fact that the patient was given insulin, antibiotics and blood transfusion treatments, the body did not respond to these treatments. As the gangrenous area expanded, the patient’s genitals became necrotic and were completely removed. This serious surgical intervention was performed by urologists.

IMPORTANT WARNING FROM DOCTORS

According to the doctor’s statement in the journal Urology Case Reports, localized ischemic gangrene of the genital organ is a rare condition. It was stated that this condition carries a risk of sepsis and can lead to fatal results. The patient was discharged after surgery.

HOW WAS THE AMPUTATION DECISION MADE?

Doctors had to perform a total penectomy because they couldn’t find suitable tissue for a partial penectomy. In this case, the patient was explained why the surgery was necessary and the long-term consequences. Experts say that diabetes and excessive alcohol use cause serious damage to the body and make the treatment process difficult.
