Male Organ Shrinkage Concerns – What Men Need to Know about Male Atrophy
For men who are concerned about manhood performance, it seems unfair
that there is one more potential problem to add to the list, but unfortunately,
it’s true. As men age, there is a possibility that the male organ can get
smaller, not to mention a drop in desire and ability to function.
Fortunately, male organ shrinkage does not have to be a fact of
life, nor does it have to put an end to intimate satisfaction. By taking
proactive measures in terms of male organ health, men
may be able to reduce the likelihood that they will experience atrophy as they
age.
What causes male organ shrinkage?
· Fatty deposits – As men get older, most notice a
reduction in their metabolism, leading to a corresponding increase in their
body fat. Accumulated fat in the abdominal area can make the male organ look
smaller – in fact, many doctors report that abdominal fat in older men all but
obscures the male organ from view. Furthermore, fatty deposits tend to
accumulate in the blood vessels as men age. This not only causes circulatory
problems that can lead to stroke or heart attack; it also reduces the blood
flow available to the male organ, causing not only loss of male function but an
overall lack of nourishment of the manhood tissue, which can lead to manhood
atrophy.
· Reduced male hormone levels – Reduced levels of male hormone are
a natural – if not inevitable - result of aging, and men who have chronic low
levels of male hormone may find the male organ becoming smaller. A man who has
a 6-inch male organ in his 30s may lose up to a full inch in length by the time
he is 65-70 years old. This may or may not correspond to a loss of function or
decreased intimate satisfaction.
· Connective tissue problems –As
part of the aging process, the connective tissue underlying the skin tends to
become less elastic. This is true of the male organ as well as other parts of
the body. As the connective tissue that surrounds the internal manhood chambers
loses its tone and supple nature, the firm manhood tends to become smaller and
less robust. In addition, when the damaged tissue affects one side of the male
organ more than the other, this can lead to painful bending or curving of the
firm male organ, a disfiguring condition known as Peyronie’s disease. Men who
have Peyronie’s disease may have difficulty engaging in intimacy and may
experience loss of reproductive function.
What to do to prevent manhood atrophy
While men in their 60s and 70s may see some amount of male organ
shrinkage, some common-sense lifestyle changes can stave off the inevitable and
help to minimize the degree of change. First of all, exercise on a regular
basis is essential in maintaining cardiovascular health, ensuring that the male
organ is well-nourished and oxygenated and allowing for ongoing tissue repair.
Second, a healthy diet cannot be overlooked as a vital aspect of
male organ health. Eating a low-fat, low cholesterol diet with plenty of whole
grains and lean protein can reduce the amount of accumulated abdominal fat that
can make the male organ appear smaller. Furthermore, eating right can help to
keep the blood vessels clear of fatty buildup that may lead to atrophy of the
manhood tissue.
Third, men can ensure that the male organ gets all of the vitamins
and minerals it needs to repair
damaged tissue and promote the growth of healthy new cells by adding a male
organ vitamin formula (most health professionals
recommend Man 1 Man Oil) to
their personal care regimen. As an added benefit of using moisturizers and
skin-friendly vitamins, many men who have encountered loss of male organ
sensation report increased sensitivity and greater enjoyment of intimacy.
