‘Voices told me to castrate myself’

By Munawar Pirzada

KARACHI: A 30-year-old man has landed in hospital after cutting off his own genitals with a blade which he claimed he did after he heard voices in his head telling him he was a “eunuch”. Zahoor, a resident of Saeedabad who appeared educated, told Daily Times from his hospital bed Saturday that the voices he heard in his head had been disturbing him a lot. As soon as he castrated himself, neighbours rescued him and took him to the Edhi centre at Mereweather Tower from where he was rushed to Civil Hospital. Emergency ward chief Dr Tariq Ayubi, who treated Zahoor himself, said that he had seen up to 30 such cases in his career. Ayubi said that the bleeding stopped after a while. Zahoor’s urination will not be affected. He will require constant dressings for the next few days and plastic surgery may be required. Zahoor told doctors that he abused a certain medication and that he had cut his penis off and thrown it near Mereweather Tower. He said he did not feel that much pain and would just need a slight painkiller. He has been admitted to the urology department. According to Ayubi, three broad categories of people do this: The first are the psychiatrically ill, the second are victims of family conflict and the third are those men who are apparently frustrated by their wife’s accusations. Last year, a government official in the Punjab castrated himself due to a misunderstanding with his wife, according to sources at Civil Hospital.

I guess that puts me in the first category since my situation doesn't fit the others.

Perhaps he made the whole story up in order to avoid being suspected of cheating?

I certainly would have to disagree that there are only 3 reasons.

I would have to guess that those reasons wouldn't even cover half of the folks here at EA.
