Doctors reveal shocking truth about cocaine’s severe damage to your nose

Mar 16 2023

Medical professionals in the United Kingdom are cautioning individuals who indulge in cocaine to quit using the drug, as it can cause severe damage to the nose.

The numb sensation that accompanies cocaine use can become permanent, and the number of patients requiring treatment for cocaine-related damage is increasing annually, according to Nicholas Calder, a nasal reconstructive surgeon at University Hospital Monklands.

Cocaine is frequently mixed with harmful substances such as Levamisole and Phenacetin, which are utilized in veterinary medicine. When snorted, cocaine induces blood vessels to constrict, resulting in a reduced blood supply to the nasal septum, causing damage and, in some cases, perforations. One patient described how he lost his entire nose due to cocaine use.

Individuals who use cocaine are urged to heed these warnings as the damage caused to the nose can be permanent.
In other news, according to a new report by the UN Office on Drugs and Crime, global cocaine production has surged to record levels due to a rebound in demand following Covid-19 lockdowns.

The report reveals that coca cultivation rose by 35% between 2020 and 2021, resulting in new trafficking hubs emerging in West and Central Africa.

Additionally, the report indicates that traffickers are increasingly using international postal services to distribute drugs to consumers.

Europe and North America continue to be the largest markets for cocaine, followed by South and Central America and the Caribbean.

As a result, five Napoli fans and three Eintracht Frankfurt fans were arrested. Two law enforcement officers were injured during the clashes, and several cars, including at least one police vehicle, were burned.

One German fan sustained stab wounds, and eight others were treated for injuries.

The clashes took place when 470 Eintracht Frankfurt ultra fans, who had been prohibited from entering the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium for the round of 16 second leg between Napoli and Frankfurt, marched in central Naples.

Of the 470, 120 were taken to the police station in Frosinone, where they were processed before being taken to Fiumicino airport in Rome.

The remaining 350 were taken to Salerno before being accompanied to the airport to fly back to Germany.

Grower vs. shower: New study reveals the truth about penis size and what it really means

Mar 16 2023

A recent study has shed light on the difference between ‘growers’ and ‘showers’ – terms used to describe the appearance of the penis when flaccid versus erect.

While a ‘grower’ may have a penis that appears small when flaccid, it grows significantly when erect.

On the other hand, a ‘shower’ has a penis that appears larger when flaccid but doesn’t grow much during an erection.

The study, presented at the European Association of Urology Congress in Milan, determined that if a man’s penis increases in size by 56 percent or more when erect, he is classified as a ‘grower’, while if the increase is less than 31 percent, he is classified as a ‘shower’.

However, the majority of men fall into a ‘gray zone’ where their penis growth falls somewhere in between these categories. The study’s lead author, Dr Manuel Alonso-Isa, explained that this information could have medical implications, as it may affect the surgical approach for certain procedures.

The study also found that the average penis length has increased by 24 percent in recent decades, with Ecuador having the largest penises in the world.
