A man who was fitted with a bionic penis has spent five days in a coma after collapsing following his first time having pentrative sex.
Andrew Wardle, a 45-year-old caterer who lives in Manchester, was born with testicles but no penis due to a rare genetic abnormality called bladder exstrophy.
However, doctors were finally able to create a £50,000 phallus for the 45-year-old, who underwent multiple operations utilising nerves, muscles and skin from his arm to create the penis.

Wardle endured a two-week erection when the new device was installed and switched on, but revealed earlier this month that he had finally been able to have penetrative sex with his girlfriend of five years Fedra Fabian.
However, just a week after this momentous occasion, Fabian found her partner collapsed on the floor. She rushed him to the hospital, where he spent five days unconscious.
His publicist, Barry Tomes, said Wardle was meant to be catching a train down to London so he could appear on ITV show This Morning when Fabian found him.

“He had a fever for days and was vomiting. They thought he had a neurovirus,” said Tomes, according to the Metro.
He said that when Fabian found him, “she was terrified. She has no family here to rely on.
“They spent the next five days in limbo. He was so ill they couldn’t do any scans. They even tested for pancreatic cancer but thankfully it wasn’t.
“It’s been quite terrifying. Their biggest worry was that the damage had been caused by having sex.”
Thankfully, he said, the health professionals diagnosed the problem in time.
“It was a gallbladder issue,” revealed Tomes, adding that he was having keyhole surgery to resolve it.
Wardle has previously claimed to have slept with more than 100 women without using a penis prior to the phallus surgery, but added that he was “so pleased” with his new member.

“Fedra had booked a romantic trip to Amsterdam for my birthday, but I felt that would have been too much pressure.
“I had to test out the function every morning and night and leave it erect for 20 minutes. So one morning, two days before we went away, it just happened,” he explained.
“It was nice and natural — and that’s how I wanted it to be.
“After all Fedra and I have been through, it’s the cherry on the cake.”
The pair now hope to have children one day, though Wardle has not yet sought advice on whether he is fertile.
He added: “If I can, then I can, and if I can’t, then we’ll just adopt.”
Fabian added: “It’s fantastic – no need to worry about viagra or getting old. He can do it when he’s drunk too.
“Sex isn’t the only way to have pleasure. We’d done everything else we were able to. But there was always a point where we had to stop.”
Appearing on This Morning last year, Wardle had said: “They’ve built me completely what any man’s got. You have to see what these people can do, these NHS surgeons, it’s amazing.
“I’ve got what anyone’s got, it just needs turning on!”
Although he is pleased with the size of the new penis, he wasn’t given a chance to request a big one.
He added: “I don’t think they do sizing, you just get what you’re given.”
Wardle could get some tips from other men around the UK on what to call his new phallus, after the most popular monikers were revealed in May.
Unfortunately though, he won’t have been able to relate to this year’s “summer penis” trend which swept the nation.
