The man, whose identity remains undisclosed, is fighting for his life at Makueni County Referral Hospital after reportedly cutting off his testicles.
Neighbors told reporters that the man was in his rental house when they suddenly heard piercing screams. Alarmed, they rushed to check on him, only to be met with a horrific sight.
The man, bleeding profusely, allegedly confessed that he had taken a knife to his private parts after being dissatisfied with his body’s reaction during a private moment with his partner.
Residents acted quickly, calling for help and rushing him to the hospital. Doctors at the facility said he underwent emergency surgery to stop the heavy bleeding.
Though his condition has since stabilized, medics described it as critical, pointing to the high risk caused by the severe blood loss.
Local police confirmed that they are probing the circumstances that led to the shocking act.
Officers urged members of the public to avoid self-harm and instead seek medical and psychological support whenever faced with reproductive or mental health challenges.
Community members expressed disbelief, noting they had never encountered such an incident before.
One elder said the ordeal highlighted the urgent need for men to speak openly about health matters rather than hiding them until tragedy strikes.
Medical staff echoed the same call, urging men struggling with reproductive issues to seek help in hospitals where professionals can offer solutions instead of turning to dangerous self-inflicted measures.
Meanwhile, news of the incident has spread widely on social media, sparking heated conversations.
While many Kenyans have sympathized with the victim, others stressed the importance of counseling and awareness programs to address both mental health and men’s health, which remain under-discussed topics in society.
