Firefighters had to be called to an emergency room in Newport Beach to 
help save a man's penis when it got stuck in the hole of a steel 
dumbbell, Costa Mesa newspaper The Daily Pilot reported.

Costa Mesa police said the man was attempting to enlarge the size of his 
penis. Authorities said the man's organ had swollen to five times its 
normal size.

The man initially refused treatment but officials at the Hoag Memorial 
Hospital Presbyterian explained to the man if he waited any longer to 
remove the fastener the flesh in his penis would die.

Firefighters used a saw to cut through the metal ring. Authorities said 
the whole procedure took about two hours.
