Indonesia: A 19-year-old man in Cilacap, Central Java cut off his own penis and tossed it down a well after his girlfriend broke up with him, a hospital official said.

The man, a resident of Bantarsari village , was rushed to Cilacap Municipal Hospital after slicing off the organ with a knife on Monday. Hospital director Sugeng Budi Susanto said he was in stable condition.

“His wound could have been fatal but he will survive and we are trying our best to heal it,” Sugeng told Metro TV.

The patient's family tried to retrieve the severed penis from the well but were unable to find it. He is being treated in the intensive care unit as well as receiving mental health counseling.

“He's still too shocked and embarrassed to talk or meet anyone,” said Sugeng.
