Drunk man cuts off his own genitals

Using a sharp machete, a 21-year-old man from Buluan, Maguindanao severed his own penis on Sunday, November 9.

According to the family members of the unidentified man, he went home drunk on Sunday night.

Several hours later, they found him twisting in pain. He was immediately rushed to the hospital when they discovered his groin bleeding.

Currently, the man is being treated at the South Cotabato Provincial Hospital in Koronadal City.

Unfortunately, the man’s physician, Dr. Nelson Joel Decolongon said they don’t have the capability to reconnect his genitals.

The injury is within the base of the penis, and the case history will tell us that it was cut at 9:30 p.m. on Sunday but they arrived here around 3 a.m. Monday.

Decolongon also added that they don’t have equipment for microsurgery.

Buluan Municipal Police Inspector Alonto Arobinto said the family did not report the incident to the police to hide his identity.

Arobinto said the man’s family members are confused why he cut his own penis.

“We still do not know if he was under the influence of drugs when he did it,” Arobinto added.
