In Dagestan, men are reportedly paying for bee stings in sensitive areas as a prostate treatment. The controversial method involves a trained expert applying bees to the affected region. The procedure, described on Russian Telegram channels, claims bee venom can kill infections, improve circulation, and stimulate hormone production. Treatments involve multiple stings over several days, costing approximately 10,000 rubles. While bee venom products exist, this direct stinging method is not medically recognized and carries risks of allergic reactions. The article speculates it could be a "diversion" linked to a fictional bio-laboratory.
