Growing numbers of male patients are seeking treatment on the NHS for botched penis ‘Botox’ and filler injections.

It is understood men have been seeking procedures at unregulated 'popup clinics' in Glasgow to treat erectile dysfunction or “enlarge” their manhoods.

The procedure sees Botox or fillers injected into the patient's genitals but some patients have been forced to seek urgent medical treatment at NHS A&E departments with a range of complications.

And, in one case, a patient has required amputation of his penis after the botched Botox procedure.

There has been an influx of patients in recent months presenting at the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Paisley, an insider told our sister paper, the Daily Record.

The NHS source said one patient attended A&E after having a vaseline-type substance injected into his penis.

"The side effects were so severe he had his penis amputated," they said.

"We also had a patient in his 30s who had Botox injected into his penis. He ended up suffering an extremely severe reaction.

"The number of male patients we are seeing coming through the doors with similar issues from botched aesthetic procedures is increasing.
