Dubai: A newly married man, who went for a penis enlargement procedure, is suing a private clinic for Dh3 million because he suffers from erectile dysfunction following the operation, his lawsuit said.

The man said he visited the clinic for "penis enlargement and sexual performance enhancement".

Following the surgery, he found he suffered from permanent erectile dysfunction.

The man approached the Dubai Department of Health and Medical Services, where he was told the doctor used illegal substances for the surgery.
