Providing education about the dangers of foreign substances in the genital area: The first step towards prevention

Some teenagers may have the mistaken belief that having a large genital organ is cool and makes sexual intercourse more effective, leading them to implant or inject foreign substances. Some may even go to unlicensed practitioners, which is dangerous.

There are risks related to cleanliness, infections, inflammation, inability to have sexual intercourse, or even difficulty urinating. In modern medicine, there are several treatment methods for those who truly have problems.

For example, if the organ does not become erect, fillers or autologous fat injections, shockwave therapy can be used, which have some effectiveness. However, it is emphasized that size is not everything. Partners may not always be satisfied with large size as it can cause pain. There are many other factors that enhance sexual intercourse, and there are safe aids available.

For example, textured or ribbed condoms that can increase sensation. Nowadays, sexual knowledge is more accessible, but adults and society must be open-minded, understanding, and non-judgmental so that the new generation has correct sexual knowledge, avoids risks, and is safer.

Foreign materials in the genital organ and unlicensed practitioners

There are still people who inject foreign substances or implant foreign materials in the genital organ with unlicensed practitioners, causing infections, inability to control urination, and inability to have sexual intercourse. This problem stems from beliefs about size communicated through various channels.

For example, romance novels, which are not true. Although there is still limited information on this topic, surveys have found that sexual happiness is a matter of preference. Partners of any gender are not necessarily satisfied with size.

Other factors have a greater impact, such as communication between partners and a good relationship. For those who still believe in size, information should be provided about whether the risk is worth it. From collaboration with the Thai Health Promotion Foundation (ThaiHealth),

providing sexual education to teenagers, it was found that teenagers have a better understanding of this issue, based on about 2,000 calls to the 1663 hotline.

There were consultations about pearl implants or foreign materials, both before deciding whether to do it and after experiencing abnormalities such as tissue fibrosis at the implant site, requiring removal, totaling less than 5%.

FDA warns not to be deceived

Injecting substances for cosmetic enhancement can be dangerous if the injected substances are adulterated, causing severe allergic reactions and even death. Dr. Phiphat Yingserisak, Secretary-General of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), stated that the FDA has issued multiple warnings about the dangers of injecting various substances.

These include collagen, fillers, Botox, and glutathione, as these substances are used improperly. Previously, there have been ongoing inspections and arrests of those illegally injecting such substances.

Cheap substance injections

Regarding the news

In the case of the young woman in the news, it must be verified whether she was actually injected with collagen or other foreign substances. It is suspected that she had a severe allergic reaction, shock, and eventually lost consciousness.

Regarding collagen, the FDA confirms that it has never registered any drug formulation. It is a substance that has not been approved for safety for injection use. Most cases involve illegal importation, advertising, and cheap injections.

Consult a doctor before injection

What to do if you want to inject substances

Dr. Phiphat warns that if any consumer wishes to inject any substance for cosmetic enhancement, they should receive the injection at a licensed medical facility according to the law.

If an allergic reaction occurs, the medical facility will be responsible and have medical equipment and medications ready to assist the patient promptly.

Summary: Providing knowledge about the dangers of foreign substances in the genital organ

Injections should be performed by specialized doctors with expertise in skin structure, anatomy, and cytology, as they will avoid injecting into blood vessels or nerves and can determine the appropriate dosage for the patient.

If injected by someone who is not a doctor or not a specialist, there is a risk of incorrect injection technique, which can be life-threatening.
