Surgery waits man for drastic measures

Galati, Romania.

A Romanian man ended up in hospital after putting a piece of string around his penis to avoid going to the toilet.

Vasile Barbulescu now faces months of complicated surgery to correct the damage caused, according to local press.

He was taken to a hospital in Galati, south-eastern Romania, where he admitted wrapping string around his penis to put off going to the toilet until he got home.

Doctors say they are unsure whether they can repair the damage and say he faces repeated surgery.

Dr Alexandru Iurea, who treated the man, said: "<i>He told us he had tied it really tight. When we finally got it off we saw his penis had massive injuries, and could not pee</i>."
