A young man’s masturbation accidentally sent him to the hospital for nearly a week. In a recent report from Switzerland, doctors detailed how a 20-year-old man leaked gas into his chest after some seemingly innocent act of self-satisfaction. Fortunately, the injury was not serious and he made a good recovery.
According to the report, published in the May issue of Radiology Case Reports, the man presented to the emergency room with sharp pain in his chest and difficulty breathing. His face was also swollen and doctors could hear distinct crackling sounds as he breathed in and out. These symptoms began when the young man “layed in bed and masturbated”.

Initial chest CT scans revealed that the patient had a pneumomediastinum – an uncommon condition in which air flowing through the respiratory system somehow eventually escapes into the space in the chest between the two lungs (median). the seventh). The patient’s air bags were also damaged and he needed high amounts of oxygen. Doctors decided to put the patient in the intensive care unit for observation, and then gave him preventive antibiotics and acetaminophen to relieve the pain.
Pneumomediastinum can be caused by trauma to the lung or esophagus. It can also arise on its own when a sudden increase in pressure in the chest cavity causes a tear in some of the pleura, allowing air to escape. This type of damage is more likely to occur in young men, and several triggers include an acute asthma attack, strenuous exercise, or intense vomiting.
The male patient above had only a history of mild asthma and denied any other risk factors. So as far as the doctors could tell, his masturbation was the culprit. When doctors reviewed the medical literature, they found a few reports of this damage possibly caused by sexual contact. But this appears to be the first documented case involving a “self-harm” situation.
“Since there is no documented case of acute pneumomediastinum associated with masturbation experiences, we consider this case the first abnormal presentation,” the experts wrote.
Although the symptoms may seem scary, acute pneumomediastinum is usually a spontaneous condition that does not require specialized treatment. After staying one night in the intensive care unit, the patient was transferred to the monitoring room and discharged 4 days after the chest pain and other symptoms completely disappeared.
