Abstract

BACKGROUND:
Genital self-mutilation is a well-known phenomenon in patients with schizophrenia and has occasionally been described in patients with personality disorders or transsexuality. However, literature just provides few cases of genital self-mutilation related to the use of psychotropic substances.

CASE DESCRIPTION:
A previously mentally healthy man (age, 32 years) performed manual amputation of both testes after first use of lysergic acid diethylamide in combination with alcohol consumption. Follow-up examination 6 month after the event did not reveal the development of a psychiatric disorder.

CONCLUSIONS:
This report shows that a first and single use of lysergic acid diethylamide in combination with alcohol can cause intoxication with dramatic consequences.



Wtf is a "manual" amputation??? Please dont tell me he tore his balls off without using any tools to aid him... on acid!! lol

I think "manual" refers to him doing this manually himself, instead of being anesthetized and having it done with a robotic surgeon.

It's kind of a word they didn't have to include in the sentence in order for the idea to be conveyed correctly, they were just being rather verbose.
