Man’s genitals removed after bid to enlarge his penis by injecting it with olive oil goes wrong

Health officials in Thailand have rushed to reassure men that size isn't everything after a 50-year-old man was forced to have his penis removed following a botched enlargement attempt using olive oil. The man had used an unproven method of injecting oil into his penis, having been told by friends that it would make it bigger. The practice, which can also involve bees wax, silicone or even paraffin, is common in Thailand and one Bangkok hospital reports that 40 patients a month receive treatment for side-effects.
