A South African woman was admitted to the hospital after putting 300g of cinnamon powder in her vagina to make it tighter.
The lady read on Facebook that putting cinnamon in her vagina would decrease its size by more than 80%, the woman’s sister told Daily Live.
“She has been complaining about her size for years. She complained that many boyfriends left her because of her big size. When she saw people talking about cinnamon on Facebook she tried it,” said the sister who didn’t want to be named.
“She started complaining about a burning pain coming from her private parts. We didn’t take her seriously but when the pain got worse we rushed her to hospital. The doctor found more than 300g of cinnamon stashed in there,” she added.
A Durban-based gynaecologist Rajen Chetty advised women to stop putting foreign powders and liquids in their private parts.
“That is a very sensitive part of a woman’s body. Women should do kegel exercise if they want to tighten the area. That’s the safest way,” said Dr. Chetty.
