Bent Male Organ Woes – Coping with the Aftermath of Peyronie's Disease

Peyronie's Disease, a severe bending or curvature of the male organ, can be a devastating condition. Men who suffer from this disorder may experience painful tumescence, loss of male function, and inability to engage in intimacy. In some cases, shortening of the male organ may also occur – an issue that no man, no matter how well-endowed originally, wants to face.

A number of options have been developed for dealing with these symptoms, running the gamut from taking a “Wait-and-see” approach to determine whether the symptoms progress; to at-home male organ care with vitamins A and  E; to surgically removing the scar tissue that is responsible for the condition. In some cases, implants may also be added to the shaft of the manhood to correct the curvature. Surgery is usually the last resort, as it comes with some unwanted side effects. These may include male dysfunction, loss of male organ sensation, and recurrence of the problem.

Men who are experiencing these problems may want to turn to their healthcare provider for assistance; however, there are also some steps that can be taken at home that may be successful in alleviating these, or at least preventing the symptoms from getting worse.

Dealing with male dysfunction. Men who have suffered from Peyronie's Disease are encouraged by specialists to continue having relations, as there is no indication that intimacy can cause the condition to return or worsen. The one caveat here is that men should exercise a degree of caution, avoiding overly-acrobatic bedroom maneuvers or positions that can potentially lead to injuries such as ruptured male tissue.

Men who do experience problems with function and are unable to engage in relations successfully have some options for treatment. These may include relaxation techniques, the help of a sympathetic partner, exercise, nutritional supplements, and in some cases, prescription medications. Use of medications, not to mention prosthetic devices that some men may attempt to try, should only be carried out under the advice and supervision of a qualified health care professional.

Less sensitivity
Surgery for Peyronie’s disease can damage the nerve tissue that serves the male organ, making it more difficult for men to experience pleasure from tactile stimulation. However, this does not mean that a man can no longer enjoy intimate activity. Retraining these nerves through varying forms of stimulation, learning to use visualization techniques, and promoting the regrowth of nerve tissue through supplementation and healthy lifestyle habits may help to restore lost sensation.

Recurrence of Symptoms
As previously mentioned, there is always the chance that further curvature may develop. In order to prevent this from taking place, it is important to exercise caution in terms of preventing injury. Keeping the male organ well-moisturized, using a lubricant for all activity, and adding a vitamin cream containing vitamins E and A may help to prevent the development of scar tissue around the corpora cavernosa. This scarring is the source of the bending during tumescence that characterizes Peyronie's disease. The scar tissue does not expand and flex in the same manner as the surrounding tissue, causing the shaft to bend as the healthy tissue does expand normally around it. In some men, this may cause a minor curvature, while in others, the bend can be quite pronounced.

Use of a Male Organ Vitamin Cream

A male organ health formula (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) containing male organ-specific vitamins and other nutrients, as well as natural moisturizers, can help to prevent problems that may detract from a man’s enjoyment of intimacy, not to mention his quality of life. A variety of nutrients that can be applied directly to the male organ on a daily basis have been shown to benefit the male skin, nerve and connective tissue, working to prevent injury and healing damaged cells while promoting healthy circulation. Adding a male organ cream to the daily male organ care regimen can help to keep the male organ feeling – as well as looking – healthy, youthful and attractive, at the same time protecting it from disease and injury.
