Doctors forced to remove part of Alexandar Djelic's penis to save it

Spent four days injecting petroleum jelly, after which it became infected

A Serbian prisoner has had to pay a high price for his vanity after he injected his genitals with petroleum jelly in a quest for a bigger penis.

Alexandar Djelic, 46, was serving seven years in jail for theft when he was tipped off about the questionable DIY penis enlargement method by a fellow inmate.

He then went on to inject 80 grams of Vaseline into his penis, and has been left with rotting genitals as a result.

'Rotting' genitals: Alexandar Djelic, 46,, injected 80grams of petroleum jelly into his penis over a period of four days in order to make it bigger

Djelic claims he trusted the inmate's advice about Vaseline injections because the man had told him he was a plastic surgeon.

'He told me I could inject my manhood with Vaseline and this would pump it up and make it much larger,' Djelic said.

After another inmate was able to smuggle some medical equipment into the prison in north-west Serbia, Djelic began the 'procedure'.

Over four days, Djelic injected 80grams of Vaseline petroleum jelly into his penis.

He said: 'On the fourth day after injecting a total of 80 grams, the pain began.'

Bad advice: After falling ill as a result of his disastrous DIY surgery, doctors were forced to remove part of his penis and he has been left with 'rotting' genitals

'My genitals swelled up and I was in terrible pain. I was taken to the prison hospital and later transferred to the Clinic of Urology in Sremska Mitrovica, and then to Belgrade.





'The swelling was so bad, the doctors had to cut away an outer part of my penis so I can urinate. I was put on a catheter, then got an infection, but survived the horror - just.'

He has had several operations since to try to repair the damage, to no avail.

He added: 'My genitals are literally rotting. My body is falling apart.
