Male function and Nerve Disorders – Male Organ Effects of Diabetic Neuropathy

At one time or another, most men are likely to run into problems with loss of function – even younger men may have challenges in this department once in a while. For men who are otherwise healthy, an unresponsive male organ can be an embarrassment and an inconvenience; but for men who are affected by diabetes, loss of male function can be a chronic problem. Ongoing loss of function can have a negative effect on a man’s emotional well-being, in addition to putting the brakes on a satisfying intimate life.

Diabetes affects male function in a number of ways. Vascular disorders, medications, and even the stress of dealing with a chronic condition can interfere with the ability to achieve and maintain a firm male organ. In this article, the role of the neural tissue in male function and the effects of diabetes are described, as well as some preventive measures and tips for improving overall male organ health.

What do the nerves have to do with a responsive manhood?

The nerve tissue that connects the brain to the male organ serves male function in two different ways. First, it transmits tactile and visual stimulation – from a touch on the male organ or the sight of an alluring image – to the brain, letting it know that a response is called for. The brain then sends an impulse along the nerve tissue to the male organ, triggering the release of nitric oxide, a chemical that signals the blood vessels to dilate and allow a rush of blood into the male organ. Any interruption along these nerve pathways disrupts the process, causing a breakdown in communication that prevents tumescence from occurring.

How does diabetes affect the nerve tissue?

Diabetic neuropathy is a disorder caused by diabetes. While medical scientists are not completely sure how it works, a combination of issues including vascular damage, metabolic issues, genetics, and lifestyle factors (such as diet, use of adult beverages, smoking, and medications) are all believed to contribute to the destruction of the nerve tissue that serves the hands, feet and other extremities.

Can loss of male function related to nerve damage be prevented or reversed?

Men with diabetes can take steps to control their blood sugar, weight, cardiovascular health and other aspects of their lifestyle in order to reduce the risk of nerve damage and resulting loss of male function. In some cases, men who take the proper steps can regain function as nerve tissue regenerates.

Substances such as alcohol, certain medications, and especially tobacco can also affect male organ sensation and nerve function; limiting alcohol consumption, quitting smoking, and discussing alternatives for medications can have a positive effect on male function, as well.

Men who are experiencing ongoing problems with loss of function should talk to their doctor honestly about the issue. A large number of factors can contribute to loss of function, and in order to address the problem, the doctor needs to be aware of all of the issues that may be interfering with an individual’s responsiveness.

Caring for the male organ and protecting against loss of male organ sensation

Men who are coping with diabetes, as well as healthy individuals, can improve their male organ health and protect against loss of function and reduced male organ sensation by taking good care of what nature has provided. Wearing non-restrictive clothing and refraining from sitting for long periods of time can prevent restriction of blood flow to the area; and men who get plenty of regular exercise generally have a lower body weight, more stamina, and harder, stronger tumescence than those who lead a more sedentary lifestyle.

Keeping the male organ skin clean and well moisturized, as well as applying an all-natural male organ nutrient creme (most health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil) enriched with vitamins, amino acids and minerals to support nerve and circulatory health, may also promote increased male function.
