Of Power Tools and Penises: A Cautionary Tale From the ER Told by Dr. Mistry and Dr. Jacomides
Thanks for tuning in to the Armor Men’s Health Hour Podcast today, where we bring you the latest and greatest in urology care and the best urology humor out there.
In this segment, Dr. Mistry and Donna Lee are joined by NAU Urology Specialist's own Dr. Lucas Jacomides, who helps Dr. Mistry recount a harrowing and humorous tale about the use of penile rings. While the professional term for these devices is an "erectile occlusive ring," many people refer to colloquially as "rooster rings" or "c*ock rings." Because they are used to stop blood flow from leaving the penis and thus prolong erections, occlusive rings can have great benefits when properly used, particularly for men suffering from ED. However--and this is a BIG however, as today's segment will make clear--when people use the wrong occlusive rings or use them improperly, they can become stuck on the penis with sometimes tragic results. The man in the story Dr. Jacomides and Dr. Mistry tell today nearly lost the use of his penis (or potentially the entire penis itself) because a titanium occlusive ring became stuck on his penis for 5 days. The ring ultimately had to be removed with the use of a Midas Rex drill, the same medical drill brain surgeons use to saw through the skull. The moral of this story is that while penile rings can be fun, anything you put on or near your penis should be well researched before use to prevent disaster. Dr. Mistry recommends plastic penis rings that have a latch for safe removal. Importantly, if you do get an item stuck on or in your penis, please go to the Emergency Room and they can contact a urology specialist to come in and remove it safely for you.
