Bolsonaro told reporters in Brasilia on Thursday the amputations are carried out “due to a lack of water and soap,” and that the government has to work with men to make them know the dangers of bad hygiene practices.
“When you get to a point like that, you see that we're really at the bottom of the pit,” the 64-year-old president said, Globo reports.
Also on rt.com Maduro tells Brazilian Army to resist ‘fascist rookie’ Bolsonaro’s orders to intervene in Venezuela
“We have to find a way out of the bottom of the pit, helping these people by raising awareness, really showing what they have to do, which is good for them, is good for their future, and to avoid getting to that point that is ridiculous, sad for us, that amount of amputations that we have a year.”
A spokesperson from the Brazilian urology society told Reuters the 1,000 figure comes from official data on penis amputations, and that they are carried out to deal with untreatable infections, cancers, and HIV complications.

Sheares also pioneered a gynaecological procedure that involves creating an artificial vagina for those born without one. Named after him, the procedure gained him worldwide recognition.4 Despite criticism from his peers, he was a strong advocator of voluntary sterilisation and family planning.5
