A 27-year-old man has been admitted to a Ho Chi Minh City hospital after his penis was cut off by his jealous girlfriend.

Doctors at the Binh Dan Hospital said N.T.K, a driver, was brought from neighboring Tay Ninh Province with one-third of his penis severed, the Tuoi Tre newspaper reported Tuesday.

His family said the girlfriend had acted when he was sleeping on the night of September 15 and hidden the severed part. They had to persuade her to hand it over so they could take it with him to hospital, the relatives said.

Doctor Mai Ba Tien Dung, head of the men's health department at the hospital, said K.'s bleeding has stopped and the severed part was being preserved in "good condition" before it is stitched back.

He said the part could have been cut off with a razor.

The girlfriend suspected he was having various affairs on the road, local reports said.
