Comments on: If a rattlesnake bit me on the prostate, what sort of first aid would you administer?

I’m going to ignore the fact that this would involve putting a rattlesnake inside your rectum and say that if it DID happen to bite you at all, you should go to the hospital immediately but do not attempt to drive yourself if you can help it. The doctor would treat you with Antivenin (CroFab).

A diagram showing the location of the prostate gland can been seen here:
Look at it and you will realize there is no exterior portion and it lies entirely within the lower abdomen. When a doctor performs a digital rectal exam of the prostate a portion can be felt or palpated via the thin wall of the rectum however the doctor’s digit must penetrate a distance to the spot. For a snake to bite the prostate, either the prostate has been removed outside the body or the snake would have to enter the rectum for a distance and bite through the colon wall in just the right place. There would be no first aid procedure to administer, however surgery would be required to resolve complications.

As silly as the question might sound, there is little that can be imagined that some human has not tried. If your question is bogus, perhaps you will try it and prove the point. If it is not a bogus question you have my sympathy and answer.

Well then, considering I’m a dude who does love females, I would call 911 and hope they would arrive on time.

Assuming they don’t and there’s absolutely no way, I would hope for the best my friend; maybe find you a blood-sucking fish nearby; if there is none to avail, I would bust out the finest champagne I own and enjoy your last moments together.

Hope I helped lad.

Considering your prostate is on the inside of your body… I wouldn’t be able to administer much of anything.
And not just because I’d be rolling on the ground laughing at the mental image of how you managed to get you prostate bitten.
