A man was left in excruciating pain after a toothbrush he bizarrely shoved into his penis snapped during sex.

Doctors revealed the 43-year-old waited 12 hours before seeking medical attention for his eye-watering injury.

Grilled about why he had a toothbrush in his penis, the unnamed Indonesian man confessed to performing DIY surgery for his 'sexual satisfaction'. Medics were told he first made a 'small incision' to insert toothbrushes in 2017.

But it is unclear whether the toothbrush in question had been in place since that time, or whether he had taken others out.

...

Medics said the man was discharged three days after surgery, reporting no issues.
