Fortunately, medical professionals were able to successfully cleanse and treat the wound, ensuring that the victim can still urinate normally.
From The Daily Mail:
Medics said the man, from Pune, had 'no suicidal intention'.
However, he attributed his action 'to voices in his head that told him to cut his penis or otherwise face dire consequences'.
Writing in the Open Journal of Clinical and Medical Case Reports, doctors at Bharati Vidyapeeth Medical College in Pune said his scrotal skin was dislodged from the root of the penis.
Medics rushed the man into surgery to clean his wound.
He was given general anaesthetic to knock him out so surgeons could operate on the stump.
After seven days in hospital, the man was discharged.
Checks 20 days after the operation revealed the 'stump was healing well', medics also said.
Apparently this act of self mutilation has name: Klingsor syndrome. It's is a rare form of physical self-harm that stems from psychological anomalies.
The syndrome was initially recorded in medical literature during the 1990s and has remained infrequently documented, with fewer than 30 officially reported cases to date.
