A man was hospitalised after using nail clippers to perform self-circumcision
DO-IT-YOURSELF is becoming ever more popular these days, but a young man took the concept slightly too far when he used a pair of nail clippers to circumcise himself.

Unfortunately things didn't work out according to plan, and the unnamed man was taken to Lister Hospital in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, where the wound had to be cleaned and disinfected.

"This is something we would advise men never to attempt," a medic told the Telegraph. "The results can be quite horrific and long-lasting and have quite an affect on a man's sexual performance. Using a pair of nail clippers must have caused excruciating pain, even if he had had a few drinks beforehand."

There is a growing number of sites that include "How-to" guides for any budding DIY surgeons - though of course it is a highly dangerous practice and any surgery should be performed by qualified doctors.

Self-circumcision was also featured on the popular TV hit series Nip/Tuck, where Matt attempts to circumcise himself using a guide he found on the Internet.
