Man wakes up from night out to find penis has been chopped off

His genitalia was hanging on by a 'bit of skin'.

A man woke up from a night of heavy drinking to find his penis had been chopped off and was hanging by a ‘bit of skin’.

Tan Nan, 44, had consumed so much alcohol he fell asleep while out with his friends in Hunan, China.

In the morning, a sharp pain work him up and he opened his eyes to see his genitals had been cut off and he was bleeding profusely.

He then rushed to seek medical assistance but was reportedly turned away from numerous hospitals as they were unable to complete such an operation.

Finally Changsha Hospital took him in and he was treated by microsurgery experts.

His penis was successfully reattached during seven hours of intensive surgery.

Medics say the blood flow around his genitals is now good, although it is unclear if the urinary function and sexual function can be restored.

Nan does not know who is responsible for the attack.

Police are now investigating the incident but say the victim is not yet recovered enough to answer questions about what happened.
