Men Are Injecting "Foreign Substances" Into Their Penises To Try To Make Them Bigger, With Horrifying Results | IFLScience: A doctor�at the Port Moresby General Hospital told�The Guardian�that in the last two years his clinic has treated over 500 men with disfigured or dysfunctional penises because they attempted this procedure on themselves.

The doctor believes it might only be the tip of the problem, as these are just the men who have admitted�what they've done�and sought treatment. Substances people are injecting themselves with include baby oil, silicone, cooking oil, and coconut oil.

How dangerous is it?

“The bulk of them have abnormal, lumpy masses growing over the penis and sometimes involving the scrotum," Akule Danlop, a surgeon at the hospital, told The Guardian.

"A good number are coming in with ulcers; they eventually burst open. Some of them have difficulty urinating because the foreskin is so swollen it cannot contract.”
