Swedish doctor who used anal massage to cure common ailments such as headaches has had his medical licence revoked.
The unidentified man, who worked in Sweden, Norway and Denmark, has hit the headlines several times over the last 20 years due to his controversial technique.
In 2003, he received a warning from Sweden's Medical Board of Responsibility (HSAN) after treating an elderly woman's headaches and back pain by massaging her anus, The Local claims.
The woman described it as, 'an incredibly offensive encroachment', Russia Today reports.
HSAN called the treatment 'dubious' as none of the muscles that cause back pain can be reached by massaging the anus.

Dismissed: A Swedish doctor has had his medical licence revoked after decades of using anal massage to cure ailments, local newspapers report
Quote:
The medic, dubbed 'Dr Anal' by the local press, admitted he had performed up to 1,000 such treatments 'because they are effective and backed up by research in medical journals'.
After appealing to Stockholm County Court in 2008, he was allowed to continue to work despite multiple warnings.
The court said the medical authorities had failed to prove his technique contradicted 'scientific, tried and tested experience', according to a report in the Swedish newspaper Länstidningen i Östersund.

However, he lost his licence in Denmark last July after piercing a patient's lung while trying to inject anaesthetic, Russia Today journalists claim.
This prompted the authorities in Sweden to revoke his licence.

These officials also discovered he had been previously been fired for a job in Norway after being recognized from damning press coverage.
The Norwegian officials found he had already been dismissed in a different part of the country, after he made inappropriate jokes to a group of Norwegians mourning a death, the Local reports.
