Diabetes is a health condition characterized by the inability to
produce adequate amounts of insulin, or the body’s inability to properly use
insulin. This hormone controls blood glucose levels; when those levels are
elevated, a host of health problems result. Men with diabetes may be
particularly concerned about how the condition may affect their male organ health and intimate lives, and for good
reason. There are a number of manhood problems that diabetics are particularly
susceptible to; knowing what they are and how they are treated can help men
with diabetes get a better handle on their health.
Performance Dysfunction
Results of research vary in terms of how many men with diabetes
suffer from bedroom performance dysfunction, but the range is 20% to 75%.
Generally, men with diabetes are considered to be two to three times more
likely to experience this problem than non-diabetic men, and at a younger age,
too. In fact, experiencing performance problems younger than the age of 45 is
considered an early warning sign of diabetes.
Diabetes can cause performance difficulties in a couple ways.
First, chronically high glucose levels can cause nerve damage. Since tumescence
occurs partly due to nerve signaling, men with diabetes may not be able to
achieve stiffness. Second, diabetes can affect the way blood flows through the
body. Impeded circulation in the male organ can prevent tumescence, since,
along with healthy nerve supply, the male organ requires a rush of blood into
its chambers in order to harden.
Treating performance dysfunction caused by either or both of
those issues may involve medications, male organ pumps, urethral suppositories and/or
injections. Perhaps most important is managing the underlying condition. Most
diabetics suffer from type 2 diabetes, a diet-related disease that can be
largely prevented and possibly even treated by eating well and exercising
regularly. Men should also eliminate bad habits that exacerbate nerve and
circulatory issues, such as smoking and heavy drinking.
Yeast Infections
An excess of glucose in the blood creates a ripe environment for
the overgrowth of Candida yeast. Men with diabetes are prone to recurrent yeast
infections, marked by a red male organ rash and burning and/or itching of the
urethra. Antifungal creams help rid infections, but only managing the
underlying condition will keep them away for good.
Retrograde Emission
The expulsion of seed through the urethra is conducted partly by
sphincter muscles. In people with diabetes, nerve damage may cause the
sphincter muscles to function abnormally; when this occurs, seed goes into the
bladder rather than out the tip of the male organ. This is called retrograde
emission. In the bladder, seed mixes with urine and is expelled when a man
urinates.
The primary sign of retrograde emission that a man will notice
is a reduction in the amount of seed when he discharges. A medical professional
can also test for seed in a urine sample to confirm the condition. While
generally harmless, retrograde emission poses an obstacle for couples who are
trying to get pregnant. There are medications that strengthen the sphincter
muscles that control normal emission; also, a doctor can obtain seed from a
man’s urine and use it to impregnate a woman.
Daily Help
Men with diabetes need all the help they can get to maintain
male organ health as they work to manage their underlying health condition.
Daily use of a male organ health
cream (health
professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) packed with nutrients that support
circulation, nerve function and healthy skin condition may prove beneficial.
Key ingredients to seek out in a cream are vitamins C, A and E, Shea butter,
alpha lipoic acid and L-arginine. While such a product will certainly not cure
diabetes, or even reverse nerve or circulatory damage, it can supplement a
man’s other efforts to maintain manhood health.
