Monthly Male Organ Care – Getting Up Close and Personal with the Manhood in the Mirror

When it comes to a man’s twig and berries, one can never be too careful.  A serious male organ problem can derail an otherwise healthy romantic life, cause fertility issues or even put a man’s life at risk.  Even still, many men avoid going to the doctor for below the belt problems.  A man may feel embarrassed to talk about his intimate behavior with a doctor, or may simply be afraid of what the doctor will find.  Luckily, there are a few ways to evaluate and maintain one’s male organ health at home; however, if a problem does come up, it is time to suck it up and go to the doctor like a big boy!

Self-Examination 

A medical examination of the bedroom equipment can be an embarrassing situation for even the most confident of men – and who can blame them?  Nobody really wants a virtual stranger getting up close and personal with his business, but regular examinations are essential to maintaining the health of the male organ.  Luckily, an at-home self-examination is easy to perform and can help keep things in order between the annual trip to the doctor.  Yes, both are needed! Doctors recommend monthly self-examinations for cancer in addition to the screen performed in office during the yearly physical – remember prevention is key.

How to perform a self-examination

• First of all, grab a mirror.  It may not be a pretty sight, but there are some angles a man simply cannot see without a hand mirror – it’s time to get a good look.

• Give the whole area a good looking over to notice any bumps, sores or lumps that are visible to the naked eye.

• Next, hop in a warm bath or shower. This helps relax the skin, making it easier to feel the reproductive organs underneath.

• Gently palpate the sack, feeling for any lumps, bumps or swelling that are out of the ordinary. Both balls should feel smooth except for one small bumpy area on the top and back, where the duct that transports seed lies.  Roll the balls back and forth between the thumb and forefinger gently to feel the entire unit.

• Examine the entire area carefully. Be sure to spread the hair down there so that skin is exposed.

• Compare the size and shape of the balls. It is normal for one to be a little bigger than the other and to hang lower, but the shapes should be fairly uniform.

When to see the doctor

Checking the area regularly is the best way to notice change; the more familiar one is with the terrain, the easier it is to feel something out of the ordinary.  It is worth a trip to the doctor if any of the following symptoms should appear during a monthly exam:

• Discharge, blood or pus oozing from the male organ
• Blood in the urine or seed
• A lump or bump in one ball
• Pain, swelling, or tenderness of the area
• Swelling or fluid built up in the reproductive glands
• A noticeable increase in the size of one or both glands
• A feeling that the pelvic region is heavy or dragging
• Enlargement of the pectoral tissue – with or without soreness

Male organ care measures

In addition to performing a monthly self-examination to monitor for cancer or other concerns, there are a few basic tips a man can abide by to keep his manhood healthy for the long haul.

• Wrap it up – i.e. always use protection to prevent the transmission of diseases.

• Exercise – what is good for the heart is good for the male organ. A good cardio routine can improve circulation to the male organ and lead to a big payout in the bedroom.

• Keep it clean – proper hygiene is important to stave of infection, yeast and odor; be sure to get in there with a gentle soap on a daily basis.

• Extra nutrition for the male organ – daily use of a male organ vitamin cream (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil) can protect the male organ from infection, improve the quality of the skin, boost circulation and reduce signs of aging.  Slather on daily for a healthier male organ in no time.
