Man amputates his own penis and stores inside snow-filled jar after taking magic mushrooms

Psychedelics and sharp objects do not mix, as this fella found out the hard way.

In a gruesome case, which doctors have described as the first of its kind, a 37-year-old man amputated his own penis with an axe after taking magic mushrooms.

The bloke was holidaying in Austria when he consumed the Class A drug, which is known to cause hallucinations, impact the senses, alter the thought process of the user, distort their sense of time and have an effect on their emotions.

According to a nauseating report published in the Mega Journal of Surgery, he had ate four or five magic mushrooms at around 9pm while alone in his accommodation, before he suddenly decided he had an axe to grind with his manhood.

The man - who is said to have a 'history of depression' and 'excessive alcohol abuse' - blacked out before taking the sharp tool to his tackle and chopping it into four pieces.

After the inevitable bloodbath and sheer agony ensued, the patient came to and ligated the 'stump' before leaving the property and hauling himself down the street in search of help.

He stored what was left of his dismembered penis in a snow-filled jar - and although this might sound like a pretty savvy move from someone on psychedelics, it was dirty, and there was a load of soil in there too for good measure.

While stumbling down the street bleeding profusely and clutching the container, a passerby found him in a 'confused condition' and took him to the next village, where he was then transferred to Austria's Hospital Feldkirch.

The tourist was rushed straight into the operating theatre, where doctors tried to control the excessive bleeding from his private region, while dually disinfecting the remnants of his severed member.

Incredibly, the head of the penis and the shaft were salvageable, but some damaged parts did have to be removed.

Surgeons were able to reattach his pecker, despite it being cut off from blood flow for a whopping nine hours.

Dissolvable stitches were used to reconnect the intricate tissues, before the scrotal skin was then sewn back on.

All in all, it was a very successful procedure - but after being transferred to a ward, the man 'continued to show psychotic symptoms' and was still experiencing hallucinations, resulting in him being transferred to the Intensive Care Unit.

The report in the Mega Journal of Surgery states that bizarrely, the bloke somehow managed to smuggle a handful of magic mushrooms into his hospital room, which were found in his nightstand by doctors.

You'd have thought his experience might have put him off drugs for life, but I guess not.

He was eventually returned to the urology department in the hospital, where his dressings were changed twice daily after sitz baths and he was given antipsychotic medication - both of which helped improve his condition .

A week after the reattachment surgery, the man developed necrosis - which describes the death of body tissue - on the glans of his penis, which had been pieced back together, due to the lack of oxygenated blood flow.

However, medics were again able to remedy the situation and it was healed within a matter of weeks.

Although his penis was significantly smaller, the man's erectile function returned and he was able to urinate on his own.

Which isn't bad going for a bloke who axed off his manhood and mashed it into multiple pieces, is it?

Although it had been marinating in contaminated snow for hours, he also managed to dodge infection too.

The report concluded: "Three months after surgery, the patient reported erections; however, the patient was not sexually active at the time of the last visit fifteen weeks after surgery.

"Achievement of erection is remarkable due to the extent of destruction of the penis. Due to insurance reasons, his further medical care is being continued in his hometown abroad."

Doctors added that the patient is 'currently satisfied' with the condition of his manhood and did not wish to undergo further surgery at this time.

"Due to lack of protocols on how to handle this rare entity, reporting these cases is important to gain experience," the report added.

"To our knowledge, this is the first report of psilocybin-induced penile amputation with subsequent macroscopic replantation."

I think we can all agree that those wizards in the surgery suite deserve a massive pat on the back.
