After the man whistled his genitals to A & E, the doctor had to have surgery because of a rare condition called “pneumonia.”
The unusual illness was due to the accumulation of excess air in his body, which had escaped through the open wounds of his testicles.
Examination revealed that both lungs of the old man had collapsed and that a large amount of air was circulating in the chest. This may be the cause of his dissatisfaction.
Medics explained what happened in the American Journal of Case Reports and said he believed it was the first case of this kind.
Previously, there was a rare outbreak of air buildup in the scrotum, but he never whistled.
This happened because a man had surgery in the area a few months ago, leaving scars where air could escape.
The man (72) spent three days in the hospital, where the doctor steadily released the air trapped in his body.
They treated his collapsed lungs (pneumothorax) and he was also given antibiotics and urological procedures for his scrotal wounds.
In the report, doctors said the man “resolutely” denied injecting air into the scrotum, which could have caused the whistling.
This means that it wasn’t the excess air from the scrotum that his lungs collapsed, but perhaps the opposite.
And the fact that the air could escape by this means may have helped him, but doctors said he couldn’t know for sure.
The paper concludes:’Our case of pneumonia [scotal whistling] Suspicious spontaneous bilateral pneumothorax [collapsed lungs] It was rare.
“Our patient had a wound on the scrotum that had been opened by recent scrotal surgery, allowing air to escape from the abdominal compartment and was worried about a” scrotal whistling. ”
“It is never known if the air escape route weakened the patient’s symptoms and led to more favorable results.
“Nevertheless, he was successfully treated with multiple chest tubes, subcutaneous air drainage, and supportive care.”
