For
any man, unzipping the trousers and discovering a red, discolored male organ
can be extremely startling, uncomfortable, and alarming. This condition
can be particularly worrisome if the discolored male organ is accompanied by
other symptoms such as bumps, itching, flaking, discharge, and pain. The
most important factor in dealing with this condition is determining the
cause. Once the cause of the red male organ is discovered, treatment of
the condition is generally straightforward. The following is a discussion
of the most common causes of a red, discolored male organ, the associated
symptoms associated with each, and a recommended treatment for each cause, as
well as suggestions for ongoing male organ care.
Partner-Transmitted
Disease
Partner
transmitted diseases can cause a decline in manhood health and introduce
symptoms which include discolored male organ, itching, and pain.
Individuals suffering from a partner transmitted disease may also experience
additional symptoms, including the formation of bumps on the male organ,
fluid-filled blisters on the male organ, and flaking skin. If these
symptoms arise, a physician should be consulted in order for proper treatment
to be initiated, and advice can shared about avoiding transmission of the
infection.
Male
Candidiasis
Candidiasis,
also referred to as yeast infection, balanitis, thrush, or moniliasis, is a
well-known for affecting women. However, yeast infections frequently
affect males, as well. Unfortunate men who develop candidiasis may
experience symptoms associated with the head of the male organ as well as the
sheath in uncut men. Symptoms associated with male candidiasis may
include redness, itching, swelling, and irritation around the head of the male
organ, a thick discharge located under the sheath, painful urination, and
painful intimate activity. One obvious cause for this condition is having
unprotected contact with a partner who has a yeast infection. Other
factors that can precipitate a yeast infection include the use of antibiotics
or corticosteroids, poor hygiene, and a suppressed immune system. This
condition can easily be treated through improved hygiene and antifungal
medications.
Eczema
Eczema,
more commonly known as dermatitis, is a condition that can affect any area of
the body; the male organ is no exception. Common symptoms associated with
eczema are redness, itching, and flaking skin. Eczema is most common
among men who have sensitive skin. This condition is primarily caused by
contact with an allergen such as latex, fabric softeners, or any other
environmental agent that may cause an allergic reaction. There are many
over-the-counter medications that can be used to alleviate the symptoms
associated with eczema; however, a consultation with a physician is recommended
so that proper individualized treatment can be administered.
Jock
Itch
Jock
itch, scientifically known as tinea cruris, is a form of ringworm that is
actually caused by a fungus. These organisms flourish in hot, steamy areas such
as locker rooms, public showers, damp towels, sweaty workout clothes, and wet
floors. For this reason, it is no wonder that this condition is most
commonly known for affecting athletes – hence the name “jock itch.”
Common symptoms for jock itch include pain, redness and itching on the groin,
inner thighs, and buttock. This condition is less common on the scrotum
and male organ; however, very serious cases of jock itch may encompass these
areas. Jock itch can easily be treated with over-the-counter, topical
antifungal creams and powders, but for persistent cases, a physician may need
to be consulted.
Sensual
Overuse
Frequent
intimacy or rough, aggressive play may cause a red, discolored male
organ. In addition to a red male organ, this practice may also cause
dryness, sensitivity, and soreness. Even though the appearance of a red
male organ may be alarming, formal treatment of this issue is not usually
necessary. Avoiding intimate for a day or two should serve to eliminate
the symptoms. In addition, application of a male organ health cream (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil) that contains ingredients such as Vitamin E and Shea
butter to improve male organ moisture may also prove to be beneficial in alleviating
the symptoms of a red or irritated male organ.
