A 66-year-old man from southern Colombia had to have his joystick amputated after he overdosed on Viagra to impress his girlfriend.
The man, whose name has not been released, intentionally overdosed on the erectile dysfunction medicine.
As a result, he suffered an erection for several days before being forced to seek medical advice.
According to news website Colombia Reports, the joystick-enhancing drug caused the man,
who is said to be a farmer and a former politician, to develop signs of gangrene.
When he sought medical help, doctors informed the patient his only option was amputation so the inflammation and gangrene would stop spreading to other parts of his body.
According to his doctor, the old man showed bruising on the testicles and joystick, he was treated and is recovering well.
In yet another incident, earlier this week, a Yemeni man died of a Viagra overdose as he prepared to sleep with his bride on their first day as a married couple.
The 25-year-old Yemeni man dosed up on five Viagra pills at one time which killed him, according to Yemini Arabic Language daily newspapwer Okaz Al Youm.
Once the wedding hall was cleared out, the unnamed man left to join his wife at their new home.
When he arrived, he fainted and collapsed and died after being taken to hospital despite doctors’ attempts to revive him.
