A 66-year-old Colombian farmer/politician has had his manhood amputated by doctors after he took too much V*agra, reportedly in an attempt to impress his new girlfriend with his sexual prowess.

After Gentil Ramírez Polanía suffered an er*ction for several he went to nearby hospital after complaining about the pain, La Nacion reports.

Doctors found the farmer's manhood to be inflamed, fractured and showing signs of gangrene.

In an effort to stop the gangrene from spreading to the rest of the man's body, doctors say they had no option but to remove the man's manhood.

"The patient showed bruising on the testicles and manhood, was treated and is recovering well," Dr Antonio Correa told the newspaper.

Medical professionals from the Naiva hospital, where the man was treated, warned locals to not use manhood-enhancing drugs without prescription to avoid incidents like this.

The man claims to be a former member of the municipal council in his unfortunately-named home town of Gigante, in the south western region of Huila.

Overdosing on V*agra, or other brands of the drug sildenafil, can cause prolonged er*ctions, known as priapism, nausea, chest pains and irregular heartbeat.

If priapism is not treated within 24 hours the manhood may become permanently damaged, leading to difficulties achieving an er*ction in future.
