UP: Viagra overdose lands newly married man in hospital

Popping multiple viagra pills proved costly for a newly married after he was admitted to a hospital in Prayagraj district of Uttar Pradesh. The man, who was married a few months back, began taking Viagra on the advice of his friends. However, he began consuming more than the recommended quantity, leading to an overdose and subsequent hospitalisation.He further amped his doses on the recommendations of his friends and went on to consume as much as 200 mg of the drug daily, nearly four times the prescribed amount.

The man ended up with an erection which did not subside even after 20 days. Upset and frustrated with the series of events, his wife left him and returned to her maternal home.After much cajoling by the man’s family, she returned, but left soon after admitting her husband to a hospital. Doctors at the hospital successfully performed penile prosthesis surgery on the man. However, now the man has a problem that will last him a life time.According to the doctors, though the man can have children, tension in his private parts will never subside. He will have to forever wear a tight cloth to hide the bulge.
