About 500 kiwi men are carted to the hospital each year after injuring their manhood.

ACC figures show penis injuries last year cost the health system more than $130,000

About 380 injuries have been recorded in the first nine months of this year.

Almost half of the injuries are cuts, punctures or stings.

There are about 180 soft tissue injuries like strains or sprains, each year.

Fractures and dislocations are less common, with fewer than three recorded in both 2014 and 2015.
