However, medics didn\u2019t notice the culprit, as they didn\u2019t check under the hood, thereby allowing his symptoms to worsen.<\/p>\n<p>After steroids failed to alleviate his agony, the patient was referred to Geelong University Hospital. There, an examination of the foreskin revealed the source of his pain to be a \u201ccomplex hair tourniquet of short, matted\u201d hairs that had horrifyingly encircled the area beneath the glans like a miniature choker, per the study. <\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>Doctors speculated that the \u201cpubic hair collected under the foreskin and after significant accumulation and time the single strands matted together forming a tight ring.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In fact, the tallywacker tourniquet was so constricting that it had compressed the member down to 1 centimeter in diameter. It also \u201ccompletely divided\u201d his urethra, per the study.<\/p>\n<p>Experts believe that the freak accident was caused by the man neglecting to clean the region properly. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe reality is that this could\u2019ve been avoided if the patient were to be undertaking suitable penile hygiene and washing beneath his foreskin regularly,\u201d Dr. Rich Viney, a British urologist, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/health\/article-10685105\/Man-57-loses-penis-trapped-pubic-hairs-matted-formed-tight-ring.html?ns_mchannel=rss&amp;ns_campaign=1490&amp;ito=1490\">told the Daily Mail<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s unclear why the patient let things deteriorate to that point; however, he was described in the study as an \u201cunkempt gentleman\u201d who suffered from \u201canxiety and depression.\u201d In addition, the patient had no fixed address and reportedly bounced between the homes of his friends and family.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/penis-1.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"&quot;The reality is that this could\u2019ve been avoided if the patient were to be undertaking suitable penile hygiene and washing beneath his foreskin regularly,&quot; said one doctor.\" class=\"wp-image-21835893\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/penis-1.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/penis-1.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/penis-1.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>\u201cThe reality is that this could\u2019ve been avoided if the patient were to be undertaking suitable penile hygiene and washing beneath his foreskin regularly,\u201d said one doctor.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Shutterstock<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Fearing irreparable damage to the man\u2019s penis, doctors snipped the obstructing hair and prepared to carry out an operation to save the remaining tissue. They then informed the patient that he could potentially lose part of his member if the wounds didn\u2019t heal properly.<\/p>\n<p>Alarmed at the possible side effect, the distraught patient fled from the hospital \u2014whereupon doctors couldn\u2019t reach him, as he possessed no phone.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignleft\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>Fortunately, the patient returned to the hospital two days later, of his own volition, and doctors reattached the tube and inserted a permanent catheter so he could urinate. <\/p>\n<p>The man then left the hospital after a day, defying the advice of doctors, who prescribed him bath salts and antibiotics. All told, he wound up returning and leaving a total of four times, with doctors forced to repair the damage sustained each time.  <\/p>\n<p>Despite his lack of cooperation, doctors managed to repair the urethra and he could urinate again on his own, without undergoing any further surgeries; although, he was left with a deformity under his glans. Doctors also circumcised the patient to prevent any future penile entanglements. <\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, the study authors chalked up the fiasco to \u201cthe challenges in post-operative care in patients with significant anxiety issues, poor health literacy and no fixed abode.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t the first instance of manhood strangulation. In July, an Illinois man with dementia was hospitalized after binding his genitals with rubber bands until his penis began to rot.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
