A man allergic to orgasms, a vitamin D overdose, and, of course, an unusual rectal insertion are some of the strangest medical tales reported this year.
Some home remedies should never be attempted. Doctors reported on a man and his partner who tried to improve his erectile dysfunction by inserting a straw attached to a can of weatherproofing spray into his urethra. Tragically, the partner then—inadvertently, according to the doctors—pressed the button on the spray, injecting enough insulation foam into the man’s penis to reach his bladder.
Unfortunately, the foam was so firmly embedded that doctors had to perform extensive surgery to fish it out of his penis. And though the surgery was successful, the man still hadn’t received additional operations to repair his urethra at the time of the doctors’ report.Advertisement
