A depressed man in China who was tired of being single and lonely cut his own penis off, then rode his bicycle to a nearby hospital for treatment.
26-year-old Yang Hu instantly regretted the decision to sever his member, the Daily Mail reported, and cycled over to a hospital near his home in Jiaxing, Zhejiang province in east China. When he arrived, doctors said they couldn't save his penis since he didn't bring it with him to the medical facility. Yang then cycled back home to grab the severed member, and returned to the hospital.
Photos from the hospital depict Yang laying listlessly in a gurney, blood stains streaming down his blue pants.
According to some of Yang's friends who spoke with the Daily Mail, the 26-year-old was becoming progressively more depressed about not having a woman in his life. Since he had moved to the city, he reportedly grew lonelier each day, and was experiencing difficulties finding a significant other. He worked long hours in a clothing factory in Jiaxing and told his acquaintances that he'd lost all hope of ever falling in love.
After Yang got home from work on Oct. 27, he made the decision to remove his penis, since he claimed he wouldn't need it anyway. He was under the impression that cutting off his member would help ease his troubled mind, which constantly wondered why he didn't have a partner.
Some of Yang's friends said the doctors should have given the man the option of taking an ambulance back to the house to fetch his severed penis, instead of allowing him to hop back onto his bicycle as a means of transportation.
