A man in Thailand was hospitalised after squeezing into 11 penis rings
The unnamed 30-year-old male lost consciousness after suffering bruising and swelling and required admission to a medical facility in Bangkok, where doctors were forced to cut him free.
They are believed to have struggled to cut them off due to the amount of swelling, but were successful in the end.
Penis rings are usually worn to enhance pleasure and improve erections, but they can be dangerous and cause a condition called priapism, which causes a persistent and painful erection of the penis.
Medical experts advise keeping the rings on for no longer than 30 minutes to avoid side effects including swelling and bruising as well as complications such as penile strangulation.
In rare cases, it could lead to a disorder called penile gangrene which if not treated immediately could lead to amputation.
