MAN LOSES PENIS IN MEDICAL CIRCUMCISION.
At 44 years, Patrick Izimba, is a lost man after he lost his penis to a botched male medical circumcision procedure in a private clinic.
Izimba is at Mulago Hospital’s Urology Ward 2A, where he has endured pain for the past three weeks.
Speaking with teary eyes, Izimba curses the day he read a sign post at the private clinic that offers free male medical circumcision.
“I underwent an operation at Medik Medical Centre Limited in Kawempe,” he says. “Free things are expensive they have cost me a life.
I depend on pain relievers. My penis is falling off and requires me to wear a skirt.”
“Pain killers have become my daily bread because if I do not take them, I cannot sleep,” Izimba narrates. Izimba has a catheter connected to his bladder to allow urine to flow out.
Start of his woes...
On the fateful day, Izimba met Dr. Kunonya who told him the circumcision was free, but he had to pay sh20,000 for the drugs.
Izimba paid the money and was asked to bring Jik and a polythene bag to place on the surgical table.
He recalls that before the surgery, Dr. Kakooza administered an injection which was painful.
I objected to the operation, but Kunonya shouted at me: "Be a man, don’t fear."
Meanwhile, Kunonya sprayed something on my nose that threw me into sudden deep sleep,” Izimba recalls.
He woke up three hours later.
“My penis was very stiff and I had lost a lot of blood.
They bandaged the penis to prevent further bleeding.
Kunonya, Kakooza and two unidentified ladies surrounded me,”
“Kunonya transferred me to another room and I was put on a drip.
I was weak. They gave me tablets to swallow.
I had a sleepless night due to the pain and the penis remained stiff.
The following day I reported for dressing in terrible pain, the penis skin became dry and pale,” he says.
On the third day, Izimba’s penis was still stiff; the skin had tuned so dark and began to peel off.
However, Kunonya insisted I dress the wound using warm water mixed with salt.
