Man hospitalized after 18 months of sperm injection into the arm to manage pain

According to Dr. Lisa Dunne, the patient would have received a monthly dose of sperm with the aid of a hypodermic needle purchased online.

The patient says that this practice was an "innovative method" of treating back pain resulting from bodybuilding. However, instead of relief, a pocket of pus was formed in the forearm where the injections were applied.

Doctors discovered that the rash was due to infectious cellulitis (a bacterium that enters the skin and can spread quickly). Bacteria without proper treatment and with antibiotics can be fatal.

The doctor adds that the patient failed several times during the injection of body fluid. However, the boy's back pain and infection were treated and he returned home. The report says that there are many cases of injection of foreign substances into the body by people. But, it may be the first sperm episode recorded in the medical literature.

The information comes from the British tabloid Daily Mail
