‘Ballmaxxing’ Trend Has Men Infusing Saline Into Their Genitals

A social-media trend called “ballmaxxing” is prompting men to inject saline into their scrotums for temporary enlargement.

Participants say the practice can feel pleasurable or boost confidence, but it involves nonmedical genital injections.

Health experts and observers are warning about serious risks, including infection, injury, and other complications.

The fad has spread through online communities such as r/salineinflation, highlighting how risky DIY body modification can go viral.
