One Columbian man has had a very nasty outcome to his blue-pill popping.

As bad outcomes to any medical incident goes, getting your penis chopped off is probably at the very top of the list. However, that is the fate that befell a Colombian man, according to reports in the Daily Mail.

The 66-year-old is reported to have told a local newspaper that he deliberately overdosed on Viagra to impress his girlfriend. Unfortunately for the man from Gigante (seriously) his erection lasted for many days and he was forced to seek out the help of his local doctor.

There is it was noted that the penis was both inflamed and fractured and that gangrene had set in. The only option, to prevent the spread of further damage to the man, was to cut the penis off.

The paper carries quotes from a doctor, who told local newspaper La Nacion: “The patient showed bruising on the testicles and penis, was treated and is recovering well.”

Easy for you to say Doc…
