Man Suffers Severe Infection After Injecting Himself With His Own Semen To “Treat Back Injury”

According to the NY Post, a man ended up in the hospital after he took matters into his own hands to treat his back pain, reportedly by injecting himself with his own semen.

The 33-year-old man developed a “subcutaneous abscess” in his arm, as well as excess fluid under his skin, after injecting himself with a “dose” of semen every month for a year and a half with a needle he bought online. For what he referred to as an “innovative” method to treat his lower back pain, the man injected himself without getting any advice from a medical professional.

The patient was treated with an intravenous antimicrobial drip, but he decided to discharge himself without allowing doctors to drain the infected arm.
