Doctors in southern Colombia say the man intentionally overdosed on Viagra to impress his new girlfriend. As a result, he experienced a constant state of erection for several days, according to the paper.
After seeking medical attention for the days-long erection, doctors found the man's penis to be inflamed, fractured and showing signs of gangrene.
In order to stop the gangrene from spreading to the rest of his body, doctors say they were forced to amputate the man's penis.
Doctors say the man is now recovering and doing well, relatively speaking. See more irresistible stories.
