Man nearly strangles his penis to death with rubber bands
His wife revealed that he had wrapped his genitals in rubber bands and refused to remove them for three days.

An Illinois man suffering from dementia was hospitalized after binding his genitals with rubber bands until his penis began to rot.
“Strangulation cases like this are thankfully rare,” Dr. Fardod O’Kelly, a urological surgeon at Beacon Hospital in Dublin, Ireland, told the Daily Mail of the grisly case, which was reported in the medical journal Urology Case Reports.
O’Kelly added, “This is important as the arterial compression means no blood flow in, and that means no oxygen supply, so the organ begins to die.”
=================================================
I wonder if his health insurance covers damage from self-mutilation.
