Male Organ Malfunction – Why Managing Diabetes is Important
Problems with male
organ malfunction are no laughing matter, and sometimes they are a symptom of
an underlying health problem. One such condition, which affects
both a man’s physical and reproductive health, is type 2 diabetes. It is
extremely important for men with diabetes to manage the condition, as out of
control blood sugar can be quite detrimental below the belt. It is also a good idea to practice
daily male organ health care,
even in the absence of physical illness, as part of a man’s general health and
wellness regimen.
Type 2 Diabetes and
Male Organ Health
Type 2 diabetes, also
known as adult onset diabetes, is a chronic medical condition that affects how
the body processes and metabolizes sugar (also known as glucose) in the
bloodstream. Type 2
diabetes occurs when the body is resistant too, or does not produce enough
insulin, the hormone that regulates the levels of blood sugar. Type 2 diabetes is a serious medical
condition that – if left untreated – can be life threatening. The condition is most common in
individuals who are overweight.
Type 2 diabetes
affects the entire body, and the male organ is not immune from the
condition. The potential
for major complications exist in terms of male organ sensation, functionality,
and reproduction.
- Sensation loss – One of the more
devastating side effects to the male organ is loss of sensitivity. A common issue in diabetic
patients is diabetic neuropathy, a condition caused by high blood sugar
and poor circulation, which ultimately damages the nerves in the
body. Nerve damage in
the male organ reduces sensitivity, and unfortunately, pleasurable
sensations associated with intimacy as well. Diabetic neuropathy often makes
it more difficult for a man to reach the height of pleasure, and – in
cases of severe nerve damage – may make this impossible. About half of all people with
diabetes will develop nerve damage in their lifetime.
- Male organ functioning – The very same reduced
blood flow that leads to nerve damage also damages the delicate blood
vessels all around the body. Blood
vessels in the male organ are responsible for the increase in blood flow,
which allows the organ to become firm during extracurricular activities in
the bedroom. Too much
damage to the blood vessels and the male organ will not receive sufficient
blood flow to achieve the desired level of tumescence, thus leading to a
less than adequate – and sometimes nonexistent – firmness. Additionally, diabetic
neuropathy can interrupt the signals from the brain to the male organ (via
the autonomic nervous system) that are responsible for getting firm; a
break in communication can throw the whole system out of whack. Diabetic men are much more likely
to struggle with male dysfunction,
regardless of age.
- Retrograde release – A final male complication
caused by diabetes is the occurrence of retrograde release, meaning the
fluid flows backward into the bladder, rather than being ejected from the
male organ. A long
history of poorly controlled blood sugar can lead to diabetic neuropathy
and cause damage to the bladder sphincter, which typically keeps the fluid
out of the bladder and forces it outwards. Retrograde release is one cause
of male infertility.
Keeping the Male
Organ Healthy
The primary way for a
diabetic man to keep his male organ healthy is to keep blood sugars within
healthy limits. Following
any and all dietary guidelines set forth by the treating physician, getting 30
minutes of exercise daily, and maintaining a healthy body weight are all ways
to help keep diabetes in check. A
healthy blood sugar level helps keep nerves intact and circulation healthy, which
will allow the greatest chance of maintaining male organ sensitivity,
functioning, and fertility.
The addition of a male
organ health cream, especially one enriched with vitamins and minerals, (most health professionals
recommend Man 1 Man Oil) can
help protect the male organ from peripheral nerve damage while increasing the
sensitivity of the area. Daily application will also keep the skin of the male
organ supple and reduce signs of aging such as sagging, wrinkled skin.
